    Yes, and the other would probably die soon after because there would be nothing in life for them to compete with anymore.

    Absolutely. Just think of all the business connections that would be there for Arum.

    It would not surprise me if either man makes plans around the other's final days. When was the last big time match between a King and an Arum fighter?

    King would turn up in a white suit:yep

    One things a dead cert & thats their speeches of condolance at each others funeral would def be one for the ages.:lol:

    I'am thinking that it was DLH/Trinidad the last time these 2 squared off for a head liner fight:think

    King has always delivered value for money on his shows IMO. I was at the Tyson/Holyfield I fight & yer had the 3 Heavyweight belts being contested. Superb:D

    I recently saw King and Arum dining together at Mortons Steakhouse. I think they are closer now than they ever were.

    Yeah i think they would. They've both been quite complimentary of each other of late. Bob Arum saying last year that 'Don might be many things, but he can put fights together like no one else', while trying to work a way for Floyd/Pac to fight.
    Age mellows you out man.

    100% sure they would both attend the others funeral. Too much respect for each other not to.
