[boozeboxer]

Okay I don't know many promoters, but I wanted to make a list ranking them by big fights and good fighters.


1. Arum
2. GBP
3. Frank Warren
4. Don King.
5. that German promoter
6. Goosen.
7. Palle

I know I am forgetting abunch. So lets make a good list.

............

# 5,676 Arkansas's very own SOB.

[Beanflicker]

Well going by sheer volume of great fights, you'd have to go with Don King. Hell he brought us Ali vs Foreman

[Diane]

I guess you could throw Gary Shaw, and Lou DaBully somewhere in the mix.

I knew I was forgetting a couple of guys! thanks Diane.

1. Arum
2. GBP
3. Don King.
4. Gary Shaw
5. Frank Warren
6. that German promoter ( I need a name here)
7. Goosen.
8. Lou diabella
9. Palle
10. I would even put the ESPN boys on here, as they promote.


the only reason Don King is so low is because I was looking at a more recent look at it.......and he hasn't had much.

Why do people have Warren in the top 3 ? The only legitimate contests he has made is Calzaghe-Kessler and Macca-Haye. He badly protects his fighters.

[Markusdarkus]

Not sure id have Arum at the top tbh.

[Diane]

6. that German promoter ( I need a name here)

Are you talking about Ahmet Oner?

[boozeboxer]

I put Arum in first because of his legendary fights in the past: Hagler—Hearns, ODLH, Hagler Duran, Holyfield Foreman, Erik Morales, Carbajal,

Actually bringing ODLH to stardom.

For promoting four of the most coveted guys in boxing: Cotto, margarito, Pavlik, and Pacman (all not really old I might add).

And for saying that UFC is “a bunch of white guys that can’t compete in any other sport.”

Why do people have Warren in the top 3 ? The only legitimate contests he has made is Calzaghe-Kessler and Macca-Haye. He badly protects his fighters.

I moved him down, but he is still huge. Almost every british star has been built up by him or fought his fighters.

[Scrap]

Frank Maloney hasnt done bad over the years.

[Mikkel_K]

6. that German promoter ( I need a name here)

Are you talking about Ahmet Oner?

Ahmet Oener does deserve a spot on the list (at the very least above Palle), but Wilfried Sauerland and Klaus Peter Kohl (Universum) are both above him in the German promoter world.

[If I'm wrong here, I'll expect Johnny to correct me ]

Seminole Warriors Boxing might deserve a mention too.

[Kev]

Has Don King done anything in the last 5 years at all?

The only fighters I can remember him promoting were Zab when he lost to Baldomir, Valuev when he lost to Chagaev and Briggs when he lost to Ibragimov.

Has he even had a winning fighter this millenium? Kings role as a significant promoter died along with the myth of the invincible Tyson.
