Richard Steel in Taylor vs. Chavez.

Richard Steele in any fight. Why you think he's not allowed to play with the big boys any more?

Gonzalez in Raheem vs Juarez fight.. what a joke that was.

And steele was correct in his decision in Chavez vs Taylor. Complaining because he didnt bend the rules in that fight dont seem right.

Steel (Chavez - Taylor)

Joe Cortez... in many bouts.

Steele did a fine job in Chavez/Taylor. When you ask a guy if he is OK twice and you get nothing from him you stop the fights. Its not a ref's job to keep time.

Eddie Cotton in Lewis/Tyson gets my vote. That **** was a flat out joke.

no, he's still reffing. not too long ago I looked him up on boxrec just to see if he was still around and he was. I just looked at boxrec because I knew this would be asked and i can't find the ref search any more.

with some of his actions and his calls, I wouldn't doubt that he got caught by someone betting on the fights he was officiating.
