    I noticed this for a while that Don King's roster of superstar talent needs a makeover and fast. His bread and butter has always been the heavyweight divison, but he needs to realize that division is not as popular as it once was. Not only that he does not promote any belt holders or elite talent in that division like wladimir, ibragimov (promoted by DLH), or future talent like pov, unless u like valuve. His best fighters include a past prime tito, juan diaz, and gatekeeper collazo. If i were king i would look real hard into trying to find up and coming talent like a joe greene, vernon paris, etc or look into signing oversea talent (like DLH signing witter and ibragimov). What are you guys thoughts on this? I know Don King does not have a great rep but maybe it can be the beginning of something.

    Satan does indeed need a makeover to his roster....badly. Juan Diaz is fantastic but I believe he only has Diaz for one more fight and then he's gone (correct me if im wrong). He should be jumping all over Eric Fields since the heavies are his bread and butter

    good call on Eric Fields since he seems so enamored on heavyweights

    Well, he's signed Bobby who posts here. He's a young Australian heavyweight.

    I think he's only had one fight with don king, on the undercard of the Chris John fight.

    I vote he just ****ing Retires!!!!!

    He's been around long enough to help **** Boxing up - in the public's eyes. So - it's about time for him to call it a wrap. But he'll be the one that Promotes until the day he dies.

    King doesnt have any prospects because everyone has realized what a piece of **** he is. Ever since the tyson days and everyone knows what happened there, tysons finances,etc,,no one in their right mind would sign with King.

    Golden Boys Promotion, will one day rule boxing, I am glad to say. At least Oscar is somebody who loves boxing, unlike that tit, Don King.

    Don's HW Roster....

    As far as I know, he has:

    Shannon Briggs
    Sam Peter
    Valuev
    Liakhovich
    Toney
    Ruiz
    TOS Williamson
    Mollo
    Barrett
    Donald
    Meehan
    McBride
    Golota
    Saleta
    Austin
    Beck
    Bermane Stiverne
    Mario Preskar
    Volodia Lazebnik
    Kertson Manswell

    Most of them are the wrong side of 30.

    He has some good Cruiserweights on his books, but who cares about cruisers really?
