The Most Terrible Fight in the History of Boxing?


Recommended Posts

The whole fight. Take note at the end that piece of shit Don King while his fighter is lying over in the corner obviously severely hurt with a neck brace and on a stretcher only wants to hang around with Benn. Entirely uninterested in the condition of McClellan. All washed up. Thrown away like an old rag.

I know. Read a couple of boxing biographies specifically Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson both of whom he conned. At one time he owed Ali a million dollars but didn't want to pay him, no surprise there. So there's litigation which Ali would have won.

 

But Ali who was barely literate, barely numerate, and frankly not very bright was conned in a fashion it would take a semi literate not too bright individual to fall for. King turns up at his house with $10,000 in small denominations in a suitcase. To someone like Ali this looks like a lot of money and he signs a piece of paper ending the litigation. Gave up $990,000.
