THE ALL-IMPORTANT REFEREE SELECTION FOR MAYWEATHER/PACMAN

[Tuan_Jim]

I can't confirm at this juncture if Terry O'Connor is available May 2nd. Assuming he isn't, who would you prefer to referee this fight of astronomical magnitude?

My worst fear is Joe "I'm Unfair & I'm Infirm" Cortez. The only two knockouts Floyd Mayweather has scored in the last nine years have come as part of a tagteam with Cortez. This is the man who warned Ricky Hatton for punching Mayweather. He's the guy who won't tolerate fighting on the inside, as Hatton found out - only to then find he had totally revised his position a few weeks later, when Bernard Hopkins wanted to fight on the inside versus Joe Calzaghe.

I'm thinking of the current crop of Vegas referees and struggling to name the man who inspires universal confidence with his impartiality.

Cortez won't be picked.

He's a disgrace.

Kenny Baylis will get this gig. Rightly so. Easily the best in the business
