    Is Don King's screwing up heavyweight Boxing?

    IMO - Heavyweight boxing needs to unify. Having all these champions raises so many questions about who's best, it's divided the fans into to many groups.

    With DK controlling 3 of the major belts, it can be argued that he is responsible. If he is unwilling to match his fighters against Vitali Klitschko, he should at least match them against each other and put a multi-belt champion against Klitschko.

    For the sake of the division, DK can answer at least a few of those questions and bring interest back to the division. From what I can see, It's only his corrupt greed preventing it.

    What do you think?

                  Wouldn't hurt my feelings none if dk went his own way. I think it would be better for boxing if he wasn't involved. And lets hope he finds a deserted island to do it on so we won't have to listen to him and watch him ruining other boxers careers.

                    Their isnt no possibly way in hell don would let boxing fly on network television....Most likely he would just put on In demand ppv shows at a much lighter cost sort of like heavyweight heroes....Don is all about money and their isnt one nickel he would drop to his boxing being on free tv.
