    Who would it be?

    Imagine:
    Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao
    Floyd Mayweather vs Sergio Martinez
    Andre Ward vs Lucian Bute
    Timothy Bradley vs Amir Khan
    Yoan Pablo Hernandez vs Antonio Tarver
    Nonito Donaire vs Guillermo Rigondeaux
    Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Adrien Broner

    Now what referee would you entrust with thise type of fights ?
    And what referee would you trust not to mess them up if anything strange happens.

    Why because if one uses headbutts he alowes the other one to sucker-punch the culpit ?

    Lol nah, it's because I want Khan to win, and Cortez would limit inside fighting.

    I think I'd like to see Ernie Shariff or Kenny Bayless for Ward vs Bute

    I chose Cortez because I thought there is a chance that Ward would try to smother Butes work on the inside. However, I'm not sure Ward would want to be on the inside too much against Bute, he won't want to be taking too many of those bodyshots and uppercuts.

    Steve Smoger, Kenny Bayless and Tony Weeks. Either or for all.

    Keep that ****** Cortez out of any Con fight, or any fight that features in-fighting from any fighter.

    Bayless, Weeks, and Smoger would do good in the fights mentioned.

    Jack Reiss. Consummate pro. Never loses focus. Never gets in the way.(or draws attention to himself) Lets the fighters fight; and most important: takes charge when events threaten chaos.

    He's the "Sully" Sullenberger of refs.
