I think mostly everyone did. Ward pretty much ******. His two biggest wins were thought of losses.

Mayweather dominated the fight but it was such an entertaining fight. My Favorite Mayweather fight. FOTY type stuff if it wasnt so one-sided.

Augusts was probably my favorite fighter of all time at his peak. But now its getting depressing and he should hang it up and lend his skills to younger fighters on the up and up.

Whenever I asked top fighters who would be the last guy in boxing they'd fight, I was surprised how many said Emmanuel Augustus. It was a combination of him being very good, having a frustrating style, and the high risk/low reward factor. He's a cult favorite in the gyms here in South Florida. I hear he had Zab Judah's number in sparring.

It was no small wonder why the top fighters didn't give him a chance. He didn't force any mandatory shots with his record and was robbed more than a few times because of his lack of strong promotional ties. It doesn't help that he takes fights on short notice and sometimes just isn't in shape.

The only times he took beating was at 135, which was too light for him. At 135, he wasn't the same fighter he was at 140. Leonard Dorin and Kid Diamond would've lost to Augustus at 140. My cousin Nelson has been Augustus' trainer on and off for a long time.

Funny story about what made Augustus want to use capoeira in boxing. His favorite game is Tekken and he used to use the guy whose style was capoeira. After that, he started copying some of his moves in the video game and applying it to his style.
