thanks man

He's going to get schooled. He was never that great to begin with, obviously, and now he's pretty shot.

That's what I've always felt. He just puts on a good show, and he was competitive against a couple of decent fighters, so people seem to believe that he's actually good.

for al ong time floyd said he was his toughest fight

He may not be great, but it would be lunacy to imply that he is not better than his record suggests.

Agreed. He was shafted against Burton, and the scorecards were at at least too wide for the Ward fight.

Part of me thinks the judges punish him for his tactics and because he took a dive.

I remember when everyone was excited about Augustus filling in against Kid Diamond, and he lost every minute of every round.

He also took that fight on 1 day's notice, and had to lose a significant amount of weight to make 135. He had been fighting at 140 and over for quite a while.

He was severely weight drained and unprepared.

The reason Augustus' record looks the way it does is mostly because of scenerios like that. He takes fights on extremely short notice as an "opponent" to make a living.
