    Who's career did Don King ruin?

    So yesterday I was at my girlfriend's house when the subject of Don King came up.(Ok, I'll admit it, we were watching Beauty Shop, and it was because I wanted to, not her.)

    ANYWAYS, I said "Don King is awesome" or something to that effect. Of course, her sister's know-it-all boyfriend pipes in with "No, he's really not, he's ruined so many boxer's careers" but was unable to give me any names.

    I don't really know too much about Don King, other than the basic stuff. So tell me, did he ruin any fighter's careers? Did he come anywhere close to ruining any careers? Or was this guy just talking out of his ass like he seems to do most of the time?

    Edit-Ehhh ****ed up the title. Oh well.

      To me that's on some different ****. He's just a promoter, how much effect does he really have on a boxer's career?
