The one name I remember is the son of Spinks? I am not familiar with boxing at all. He also named at least three other fighters. Wow Don King was dressed like an uber-patriot too, holding two American flags...LOL Apparently he's been talking to Dubya about doing this fight for some time.

Don King ready for Iraq:
Don King wants to hold a boxing match featuring his newest star, welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga, for U.S. troops in Mosul, Iraq. The troops, with the 101st Airborne Division, recently held a boxing tournament for fun. They received a package of donated boxing gloves and promotional items from King. "It sort of gave me the opportunity to put your patriotism where your mouth is," King said recently. "We want somebody to come over there live and in living color to boost these troops' morale." King joked that he might even match up two generals. The boxing promoter said he's sending letters to key Republican leaders to try to arrange the trip. He said a fight could be held as early as January. Mayorga is a 29-year-old boxer from Managua, Nicaragua, who in July beat Vernon Forrest to successfully defend his WBC and WBA welterweight titles
