The worst referee ever?

[Anthony342]

The Fleischer part I understand, there was his error, he should have recognized that it was his authority to decide what happens.

But how would you have gotten Ali to a neutral corner?

Would you have DQed him?

Tell him to go there, admonish him and yes, eventually threaten a DQ.

But had he done it the boxing community at the time would have supported him.

Are you say that the Black ******s would have wacked him?

- -I'm saying there was a clear and present danger that caused the rematch to be moved to Podunk Maine in the most remote location in mainland US.

I have found over the years that too many folks lack the intincts to understand when they're gonna be whacked on the noggin. Need I remind a baby boomer of the revolutionary disruptions, demonstrations, riots, and political assassinations in the 60s? That's why Ali took it overseas and eventually moved to houston.

Liston and Walcott were more instinctive than you credit them.
