    Arthur Mercante Sr and Jr for me.

    Multiple choice max of 10 - I left out Mitch Halpern and a couple of others

    Arthur Mercante Sr but his son has started his career on the wrong foot... I remember him counting out one helpless Michael Dokes all the way from 0 to 10, against Donovan Razor Ruddock in MSG some years ago. That was very pathetic because Dokes took some massive left hooks and was out when the first hit him, then Mercante Jr starts counting - Dokes could have died right there. Frank Cappuccino and Carlos Padilla were very good referees too.

    Mills was very good. But the best all time ref was Stan Christodoulo from South Africa. Great refs are very few and far in between!

    Jay Nady has to be among the worst! Joe Cortez is becoming useless.
