6. You gotta give Don King his due, the man made the sport of boxing as big as it is and made many boxers millionaires in the process regardless of how frivolously they spent, and poorly they managed their money. King may be a crook, but contrary to what is reported in the media, he has done more for charity, the political community and the sport of boxing far more than any other figure in the history of the sport including Muhammad Ali. King is a shrewd business man and a charismatic, poetic, fast-talking, quick witted genius. Don King is the man.
