Even though he stole a lot of money from them, he did it for the most part legally.

Tell that to Pernell Whitaker, whose victory over Julio Cesar Chavez was nullified because King had the fight fixed. It was so bad that the judges even went back on their scorecards and changed scores from the earlier rounds just to make sure Whitaker did not win.

King is a patriot for one reason -- He knows that if it were up to the Taliban the first thing to be eliminated from the U.S. would be the World Wrestling Federation. The second thing would be heavyweight boxing.

The entire sport is fixed from top to bottom. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that (unlike the WWF) people gamble large sums of money on these fights.
