Too bad. If he’d stuck around long enough, maybe Don King wouldn’t have thrived in the business, bilking millions off the guys that took the blows. Mike Tyson might even have held the belt for several years. When King showed Mike the “white man taking all his money”, he must have used the negative of the picture!! Ah, but if boxing didn’t have a dark side, Marlon Brando might not have won an Oscar when he “coulda been a contenda”!!
