Without looking it up do you know who would be the most famous boxing referee ever, known the world over? There are two one an ex pro the other not. More interesting is the one who wasn't.

Earl hebner! wait wrong sport :S
I know Joe Louis reffed a bunch of fights, couldn't say which though. No idea on the other guy, would guess say Mills Lane or Richard Steele but sounds like those aren't him..
Wyatt Earp?
Joe Walcott and mills lane because of his TV show
Yeah I was thinking Wyatt Earp has to be the more famous. Reffed the heavyweight championship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzsimmons_vs._Sharkey
But Mils Lane is quoted as being the more famous he is No1 so the records say.
So two winners. :cool: :cool:
Can you think of any questions fire away? :cool: :cool:
Which 'Highwayman' was the first fighter of colour to win a British title?
Was going with Dempsey and Mills at first. I think his show was an afterthought in fame. Mills was just that damn good, one of the last 'enforcers' but without looking like a chatty camera clinger like Cortez or a Jack reiss.
Name the fight which was stopped by the referee to save both fighters from further punishment?
Dick TurpinQuote:

That was Prince Charles and Sosa (fight one) I believe.Quote:

No! Illogical choice since he was not a champion. Another clue.Quote:

No shame in being a thick twat. Guess again.Quote:

Lat decade eh. Father vs Son with no weird circumstances like being adopted when he was 20 or something?
Yeah thats it. And ftr I think Harold is overlooked when people talk about great older gen fighters.
Yes Harold was a quality fighter; in an era of Moore and Charles he still shone.Quote:

As for my question; they were/are legitimate 'biological' Father and Son; and actually share the same name; as in Junior and Senior...
I have heard the father son question before and I remember the answer so that doesn't really count :S
answer here if you want to see.
So its over this past decade and its a father/son who had a pro fight against each other and not got in a fight at a pro fight like Floyd Jr and Sr have?Quote:
