Excellent article on Don King who was once one of the most powerful men in sports but is now all but forgotten.
When's the last time you thought about Don King? When's the last time you thought about boxing? I've become ambivalent about both. I always thought boxing was crooked - not so much what happened in the ring but outside - from the promoters like King keeping certain fights from happening to judges ringside giving scorecards which were indefensible to anyone who watched the same fight. Now I don't really think of boxing - or Don King - at all.
The article was a good reminder of what once was. I couldn't help but wonder if we are better off without boxing and people like Don King?
