    what happened here?

    Emmanuel Augustus
    he's just about the most talented boxer ever
    when you watch this mans fights and are just discovering him(like me) you just wonder wow, this cat must be a p4p fighter or somethin, an atg
    when you look at his record 38W, 30L, how do you not just think, ''What the ****??''

    how did he lose any of this, i honestly believe Emmanuel had the potentiol for atg status, or at the least HOF for simply being the most entertaining boxer ever

    and when i see his defence, it looks alot like floyd, so takes me back again to the point of just what the **** went wrong here?

    Mismanagement, robberies, taking fights on very short notice...take your pick.

      I believe he beat Ward. Yeah the dude has alot of talent and as you can see...he recently got robbed...Augustus and Glen Johson have been f.ucked over too many times...

      I wish Augustus would stop the dancing and get serious...but yeah, I think it is too late for him to establish himself

        He's a good fighter, nothing special though. Saying that his 30 losses should be something like 6-10 if he was managed fairly and hadn't been robbed. HOF is a big stretch if you ask me.

          one of the few boxers who actually looks to be having fun in the ring. plus it's damn hard to hit him cleanly. every time he gets a little momentum going in his career the judges rob him and he's back to square one. that dive he took against allan vester is still one of the funniest things ever. gets hit with an air combination and down he goes.

            I live in Denmark and I remember that fight. It was held in my hometown Aarhus. That was some funny ****, hope he got paid well!
