he just lost to a nobody 11 days ago because "he had chicken pox but went ahead and fought anyway". pshh. he's lost 8 out of his last 13 fights. he has limited power. he's short. doesn't have a great reach. he's lost 26 times, and has 6 draws on his "resume". he hangs himself in all his fights. yet he still can't keep his mouth shut long enough to realize he's nothing but a boxing failure.
"To my Fightnews fans, I would soon believe and hope that Fightnews would put up a poll that decides who the fans want to see Ricky Hatton fight. I do believe or say that the majority would vote for me and Ricky Hatton to fight each other for nothing less than to prove that Ricky Hatton should fight the man that has given Floyd Mayweather his toughest fight to date and that way he can measure up to see where he stands if he fights me and deals with me. If Ricky Hatton wants to make an impression and make his mark in the United States, then he should come through me. Let the fans speak and put up a poll to see who they want to see in the ring with Hatton."

to clarify, mayweather struggled in much of the fight, but the fight was called in round 9. i'm not a genius or anything, but i thought castillo gave mayweather the most trouble? augustus is the same guy that micky ward tore through like a bitch. there's plenty of variables that could have led to mayweather not performing well in that fight, but if this is the only thing this guy has to hold on to out of his entire career, i say hang it up. i don't understand why people still pay this moron to fight (or news outlets like these still talk about him). his brains are all mush anyways
Yeah, I'll never defend some of Emmanuel's strategy. The wild style he started using was, he says, a way to confound an opponent because so many boxers are trained robotically- both in how they move and how htey expect an opponent to move. That means taking rounds off where he only intends to frustrate an opponent by blocking/avoiding punches and so forth. At times it is brilliant, like versus Ward or Burton, other times it looks terrible, like the Dorin fight.
Its like that line from Spinal Tap- theres a fine line between clever and stupid, and I'll agree Emmanuel can cross the line.
But again, I disagree with calling the guy a loser or doubting his skill and heart. Even his style choices I wont diss because although its hurt him at times, at least he has the balls to try something different. He's had a rocky career (mostly his fault, but at some key times not), was never coddled with good graces like some fighters, and has fought to make a living every step of the way.
Add to this taking fights on very short notice, fighting for fun (example fighting Leonard Dorin with his hands at his waist the whole time)...
Fighting a whole fight like that is called stupidity.

lmfao pure ownage
Look around, no one said they were ALL unjust. But, in a couple of fights where a victory meant bigger things for him, fights he was winning, the hometown crowd/corrupt judges have screwed him. Yeah, its barely a handful, but its still worth noting.
So, you are dissing him for being a fighter? For not wanting to quit, for having guts, for being angry at his corner for stopping the fight? If he would've quit- himself, it'd open the door up for guys (like you I assume) saying he had no heart.

It's hard to believe all his 20+ losses were unjust.

Come on man, the guy complained that the Mayweather fight shouldn't of been stopped. How many more clean shots did he feel like taking?

Well, the saying goes- everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it should be- everyone is entitled to thier own informed opinion.
Augustus has never grumbled any more than any other fighter who's taken a loss. It smarts. It hurts. Especially when you are struggling and you come up short (for whatever reason, sometimes fair, sometimes unfair) in a match that could be a breakthrough to some big matches. But he's never been a bitch about it like some boxers.

All I did was offer an opinion.

ricky hatton is a nobody...he had 1 wrestle match with kostya tszyu now ppl are trying to build him up..."certain" ppl
Change the record son, how many times do we hear this? for fuck sake how many Hatton fights have you seen? Hatton beat Tszyu fair and square, you gotta sort yourself out mate.
Loser,
Toy..........
My number of posts haven't anything to do with any of this, who cares about that other than you? and I never have claimed to be any kind of expert. nor will I, I calculate the odds and go by what I have seen. son.
and yes I've seen Augustus interviewed after his fights dildo. I watch as much boxing I can whenever I have free time, it's also my job to know about boxing. I handicap boxing. so spread out with you water thin aggression, because you're all diluted and transparent.....
So you watch alot of boxing, yeah I would think somebody that posts on a boxing board would do that. What's your point? I don't give a damn what you do on your free time, chump. And relax yourself with the aggression talk. All I did was offer an opinion. It was you who let your lust for Augustus get you all heated up. You need to be careful your ass don't start hyperventilating. And all this over a clubfighter.
Let's see if I got this right. The fact that you have more posts than I do makes you an expert. Right? Is that the way it works? Please tell me your not stupid enough to actually believe that.
Let me tell you something chump, your boxing knowledge is laughable. The fact that you said "Augustus never cries or complains about getting fucked over on the cards. he doesn't even get mad about it." pretty much exposed your stupidity. Have you not seen Augustus get interviewed after his fights? All he does is bitch and complain! You know what? I bet you don't even know who Augustus is. I wouldn't doubt if your just repeating somebody else comments. Trying to pass them off as your own. Ain't that right? Expert.

no, i just have respect for the man. if more fighters had his attitude and diligence, we would have tons of better fights to watch.
you're just a rookie plain and simple, all you can do is talk shit, you have nothing to back up what you say. no reference, experience or any real insight.
you have nothing and are nothing.........

I use to think a fighter had to be a star to have groupies. I guess was wrong. After reading this clown's post, It looks like Augustus got some groupies of his own.

It's really useless to argue the score in the Ward Augustus fight. It was very even, and the knock down was enough to slide it Ward's way narrowly.
I could see Augustus edging it, but it was no robbery.
Debating a decision that was that close is kind of futile. There is no right or wrong answer in a fight that tight.

to say ward tore through augustus is one of the more preposterous statements ive ever read on this forum. i believe augustus outlnaded ward nearly 2-1 in that fight and lost only cause he took a KD on a vicious bodypunch and was fighting in Ward's hometown.
him scoring a fight with rickey hatton for his Us debut wouldnt be much more of a stretch than Arturo Gatti fighting floyd mayweather jr if any at all/.
