    Who is boxing's worst referee?

    By "worst" I mean:

    1. Incompetence
    2. Gets too involved
    3. Stops fights too quickly (several British refs)
    4. Favoring/helping event promoter's fighter (Reiss in Kessler-Ward)
    5. Doesn't stop fights soon enough and lets boxers get hurt
    6. Favors boxers because he likes him (Smoger in Hopkins-Murat)

    Or any combination of the above.

    I don't know about worst, but Laurence Cole is pretty bad.

          Probably Cole. He's had a bad few years.

            Laurence Cole. Dude said Pac was knocked down when it was obviously a slip and let Margarito fight until his eye almost fell out.

                  Lawrence Cole. But why isn't Vik Drakhulich on the list.

                    Are you talking about the mosley fight? If so I'm pretty sure that was bayless
