With the fight now confirmed who do you guys believe is the likely referee?
The smallest things can make the biggest difference in this type of fight where so much is at stake.
Roach and Floyd will have plenty to say, Manny probably less so...
Anybody but bayless... he's a good ref, but what floyd made him do was bad refereeing... Dosent have to be weeks either.... why not give a new face a shot...
Because this is the biggest fight in history. You don't give a fight like this to a guy who is just cutting his teeth as a referee.
How is letting the fighters fight not fair?
Not only ,
I don't think Pac will have an advantage on the inside or fighting out of a clinch. He is dangerous, but Floyd is bigger and has a good inside game.

Some say he enables a lot of dirty fighting because of that, I don't agree, but I think Weeks is a good balance.
Kenny Bayless. Fight wouldn't be difficult to referee in all honesty.
Really Dont matter.....Their styles wont cause too many problems unless Floyd start doing those UFC Elbows
Smoger but it will be Bayless.
I just dont know what exactly Bayless will be instructed to focus on with Pac? He doesnt do anything to warn about. Manny doesnt stay inside he is in and out so idk if Bayless can be quick enough to break that so quickly he is gonna have to work on his footspeed or watch Mannys feet and predict a break. :lol1:
Probably Bayless.
His performance was so bad in the Mayweather vs Maidana 2 fight, it might have been paid to protect Floyd, because that is certainly what it looked like.
Tony Weeks, I think he will be fair to both, wouldn't be the case with Bayless, who was protecting Mayweather like a son during the second Maidana fight. Smoger would let the fighters fight like he always does, benefiting Pacquiao. Weeks is the best option, I want a fair fight for both.

To be fair, it should be a guy with the mix of Smoger (allows the fighters to fight), and Cortez (separates fighters like they both have ebola).
I nominate Tony Weeks. He deserves it.
Completely agree. Of the three either smoger or weeks
