I expect Don King to say that, but Dana doesn't quite seem to be the type that would make a remark like that unless he believes it - or, again, it's an angle/sour grapes.
As well, he was not shy about admitting how much he wanted to sign Silva and made a big deal about other signings, so it's hard to say he doesn't acknowledge the talent they have (or should I say, "had").
Anyhow, of course you could be 100% right and it's just part of the game.
