    I am not saying that you are wrong, what leads you to this conclusion?

    It was Ruiz’s next fight after Golota. Don King was better off with two champions.

    wasn’t Brewster with King?

    I'll give the man some credit. On paper he had a pretty good career, despite not being all that talented imo.

    I don't think that he was strictly managed by King, but he and his promotor were very thick with King.

    Kind was not that far off being able to arrange a unification tournament at the time, and the possibility was being discussed.
