    No ref is flawless, but Smoger is the best all-around. Doesn't get involved unnecessarily in the action, and gives the fighters every chance to settle things themselves without going overboard and letting things go too far.

    Bayless, with Smoger close behind, and Weeks after Smoger.

    Worst active ref is Mercante Jr. Aside from Cotto-Foreman, here are a few examples of his stupidity:

    What the **** was he counting for?

    What are you waiting for, a Benny Parrett type finish?

    Oh wait, I forgot that Mercante already was a ref in a fight where a fighter died.
