    The card Golden Boy put together for September 14th is the best card I can remember in the last 50 years. If there was a better card I would like to know what card that was. King put on some great shows but I don't remember any King shows that would equal this one. Mayweather-Canelo is the biggest fight in boxing. Garcia-Matthysse is a dream fight. Trout-Lara is an even fight between two of the best 154 pounders and Molina-Smith is yet another title fight. They may have more good fights on September 14th that I am not aware of.Golden Boy did themselves proud this time. Yes, Don King was a great promoter.

        I remember King had that one card with Hopkins-Joppy, Rahman-Ruiz, Spinks-Mayorga, Braithwie-Pineda, Alvarez-Burgos, while also having guys like Zab and the Simms dude that was getting alot of hype at the time

            Of course he is in better health than most of the fighters he promoted, because while they were taking the punches he was sitting ringside taking their money

              I remember them. Unmatched ppv events. Three or four or even more of the top p4p fighters on one card. Great times!

                Yea and I also remember how badly he would rip boxers off to make those cards happen.

                  He's 82.....I bet I won't live that long or be in that kinda health. Hell you don't see many ppl like him with great health. Actors, athletes, etc...

                  The aging of boxers are due to drugs and booze....punches play a little role.

                    Don King was the man in the early 90's.

                      Yep... I use to have a friend who use to get superchannel & all PPVs free. Tyson cards were always stacked. The 3 undercard fights would headline most cards today...
