"I think on balance, Don King has been bad for boxing. I think he's done some very good things and I think he did a heck of a job of promoting Ali but I think I could have promoted Ali"

Dick Schaap's quote suggests that he thinks Don King has actually had an adverse total impact on boxing. He acknowledges that King has actually done some advantages, such as promoting Muhammad Ali, yet believes that he can have done a better work. This suggests that Schaap thinks King's advertising methods have been damaging to the sporting activity of boxing. He may be describing King's questionable business techniques, such as his supposed involvement in taking care of fights as well as his tendency to make the most of fighters. Eventually, Schaap's quote recommends that he believes King has had an adverse effect on the sport of boxing, in spite of his successes in promoting Ali.
