    Don King was a crook that took advantage of boxers but he always made the best fights. DLH, Arum protect their fighters too much instead of making the best fights.

    You have no ****ing idea what you are talking about.

    King rigged so many fights and sanctioning bodies so that he could put on **** poor fights for years on end.

    Also because he paid his fighters so poorly they didnt give a **** and came in fat and didnt train.

    **** Don King and the WBC and WBA.

    Don King is a killer who only cares about money while Bob Arum is like a spoiled child who only wants to get his way.
    Of the two, Don King was always the better promoter and made the better competitive matches.
    Don King's fights are in the history books and the stuff of legends.
    Although he made competitive fights Don King valued money over people. So, many a fighter got robbed financially from dealing with Don King from Ali to Tyson to Bernard Hopkins.
    Still, choices in America almost always comes down to choosing the lesser of two eveils. In this case the evils were don King and Bob Arum with Arum being the greater evil of the two.

    Haha... this post made me laugh out loud. To defend Don King and this thread is to not know Don King. Iceman didn't even suggest that others are perfect...but Don King is a piece of sh*t and that is a fact.

    Do some research and you'll understand.

    That's Not my time. But I've done some research over the years, and he was good for boxing but terrible for the boxers.
