Don King knows boxing. As the promoter of most of the top level professional boxing matches in Las Vegas, King has witnessed some of the best in the business not only hit like a pro, but duck like one, too. When King saw the President’s reflexes in ducking that flying shoe, King undoubtedly saw dollar signs light up in front of his eyes.
The boxing guru was so impressed with Bush’s shoe evasion tactics over the weekend, that he gave a statement to TMZ saying, “Bush has unbelievable reflexes … he can stick and move like a boxer!”
King, who is currently in the middle of a huge charity event in Florida, even came up with a trademark rhyme — calling the duck-and-move, “Aggression but with protection.”

You know Don King is readying a presentation for January 21st to deliver to Bush to try to get him in the ring. He could hype it it as a big charity event like Michael Lohan did. Offering the opportunity to get in the ring with George Bush would raise millions… hell, it may even finance the recent bailouts. Nations would pool together to pony up the money to put someone in the ring with W. It would be epic.
Of course this will never happen. It’s just fun to consider the possibilities.
