I think so.
The real question is if he is the greatest promoter in the history of sport.
Don King's transgressions against fighters are legendary and infamous, and he has long been suspected of having ties to organized crime - at a 1992 senate hearing, he took the 5th when questioned about dealings with John Gotti.
He has been sued by, amongst others - Terry Norris, Mike Tyson, Tim Witherspoon and Lloyds of London.

However - without Don King there would have been no Rumble In The Jungle, no Ali/Fraziers, no creation of the myth of Mike Tyson, no Tyson/Holyfield - and he is certainly the father of women's boxing as it is today.

Here's a guy that took the ethics and street accumen that he learnt as a hustler on the streets of Cleveland, applied it to big business and became a millionaire many times over.

Ultimately, his, and others like his days are numbered, as Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Productions changes boxing business forever.

Ever since he got his @$$ whopped by Bernard Hopkins this summer he fell out of the spotlight and hasn't talked trash since,to me he only became big from beating one great fighter Roy Jones jr.

Holmes was a great fighter but because he fought in Ali's shadow, i don't think he was really given the proper credit for his career. Where would he rank in your top ten?

In 1984, Julio Cesar Chavez (#2) fought Mario Martinez (#1) for the vacant WBC Super Featherweight title. If Camacho hadn't vacated, who would he most likely have fought and what would have happened?

Here are a few ideas - add more, and when we resolve the question, I'll make a list of five.

Ike Quartey ( that thing is like a triphammer )
Virgil Hill ( yes, Hill - he made 21 defenses with his left arm )
Muhammad Ali
Winky Wright ( ask Felix )
Larry Holmes

I think George Foreman is the most formidable fighters I ever seen. I don't know why it was not a second fight between these two, but I find it hard to belive that Ali would have beaten him on American soil
