    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.

    Can you think of any questions fire away?

    not many people know but the ref in the Johnny Nelson v Carlos De Leon fight was banned for life after the fight , for not stopping the fight to save the crowd from further punishment

    Should have taken the Harry Gibbs approach and walked out the ring in disgust (Minter/MagdziarzIII).

    No idea but I'm guessing it was the late 1700's or something.

    What father and son lost to the same man?

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

    Tyson/Tucker might have been a 15 rounder had they not unified the rules for that fight. So using the logic it had to be an IBF sanctioned fight before April 88; I will plump for Biggs over Holmes or Tubbs...

    Yes it was Biggs. Logical.
