Good for him, there really wasn't anything left for him but to lose his good looks or his brain. DLH was one of those guys I grew to hate after a few gift decisions towards the late 90s but after his record became blemished he gained all my respect back and then some.

Maybe by the time King is out of the game he can become top dog with his pomotion company and bring boxing back to the respectability it enjoyed in the past.
