I just got into this argument with my brother about those old Don King cards.
Now, I swear I remember him putting a card together that had Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Ricardo Lopez on one card. I swear it was like '95 or something
He claims it didn't happen.
But anyway, that got me thinking about how great a lot of those old King cards used to be.
Now, I know for a fact I watched McClellan/Jackson & Chavez/Randall on one of them as a shorty.
The one I can think of that I enjoyed in the last few years was Mayweather/Cotto that had Canelo & Mosley too.
What happened to those, man?
Damn, I'm starting to think I was wrong, but I just read about this crazy card that King put together back in the day that had JC Chavez, Felix Trinidad, Frankie Randall, and Ricardo Lopez on it.
