    Mayweather vs Big Show, Floyd hit his oponent with a steal chair then knocked him out with brass knuckled. The referee was nearly as bad as Cortez.

    I agree

    can you imagine if that fight would of been scored for Holyfield

    the sport would probably be government regulated by now.

    Mainstream: Ali/ListonII; Tyson/HolyfieldII; Jeffries/Johnson

    Hardcore fans: #1 by a mile as it sadly to the death of the victim Collins/Resto; Whitaker/Ramirez; Escalera/Everett

    Not the most contraversial but one of the most disgusting refereeing in history was Benn vs Mclellan......

    Benn having been put through the ropes and taking Forever to get back in was techniclly KOed (by standard boxing rules) then the headbutts mclenllen repeatedly PLUS when Benn was put in trouble the referee was grabbing and pushing around Gerald when Benn got an easy ride of things iwith his constant cheating....this fight unfortunately made a once great fighter that had a win over roy jones in the ametures into a cripple....

    Benn did what he had to do to win....fair enough

    but in my opinion if anyone ever seens the referee of that fight i beg you to cause him harm.......I will personally pay money to punch him!!!

    I'd say Chavez-Taylor I. There's just no way to justify that bs stoppage. It was a case of a monumentally bad decision on the part of the referee. Taylor was royally robbed.

    Chavez - Taylor I

    and a lot of pre-war fights. There was one where the ref actually had a lot of money on one of the fighters. In the fight both fighters threw a punch and went down simultaneously, and the ref helped one of them up with one hand while counting out the other fighter with the other hand.
