Don King should have been arrested for putting Duran in with Joppy. Any others?

    If memory serves, they pretty much grabbed him out of a crack house and brought him to the arena.

    Mental breakdown ensued.

    I think the breakdown was caused by both the drugs and Lewis (Mccall his trick didn't work the second time)
    Getting frustrated, getting hurt and getting a drug withdrawal together are a good ingredient for a mental breakdown.

    Lewis had nothing 2do with it .
    Jameel McCline would have had achieved de same if he got de gift of fighting McCall that night .
    McCline could also outdo Lewis vs shot Holyfield .
    Lewis could never do 2 McCall what McCall did 2 him .

    Of course some of those obese middle-aged (or prematurely aged) heavyweight crack addicted punch-bags shouldn't be licensed to box.

    They just turn up to get knocked out or beaten up for a payday. I guess it's less risky for them than holding up a liquor store which could strike them out on felonies and put them behind bars for life.

    Scrap Iron also fought and got KO'd by Foreman and I believe Lyle too. Gotta kinda feel for those fighters who get shoved in front of monsters to beef up their records. Tough mofo tho.

    If memory serves me I think Paret was KO'd horribly in the few matches before being put in with Emile. Of course he was no banger but just total disregard for the fighters health.

    Nor could McCall ever make Lewis cry like a ***** and go insane in a fight, so I guess that's even.

    To anwer the thread title question, yes, there are many things Don King should be arrested for -- and he has been, more than once.

    Lewis might not have cried , but get concussed 4 a 2nd time he could , this is supposed 2b about concussions , not about who has de better management and de more biased fanbase . de main idea was that Lewis got that "W" only because of McCall's outside de ring wrongdoing and a well chosen timing of their "rematch" and even that was by his management and not by his own .

    Me too. I admire Hopkins as a fighter,but there's always been something very nasty about his character.

    Lewis handled his bidness in the rematch. Olly did not.
