Don King is a virus in boxing. This is why I've personally stopped paying attention to belts now. I made that decision a few weeks ago, from now on I'm only gonna recognise the linear champ, where possible. Its not gonna have any affect on the sport or anyone else, but it's just something that I will follow. -
Everybody knows either Klitschko would beat Valuev but Don is preventing the fight from happening
There is no way they will give King option on future fightsComment

"We spoke to Don King three weeks ago to ask him for a fight against Valuev. He said either of the Klitschkos would knock out Valuev and that he would accept a fight only if he was allowed a cut in future fights involving the Klitschkos"
Sounds exactly like something King would do and say. Greedy bugger disabling fights cos he's afraid it'll dent his future earnings.Comment
