How good could Emanuel Augustus have been

[koboy]

if he didn't clown around too much..

I always thought he had pretty good skills but his antics just turned me off his fights. Instead of becoming entertaining, his fights turned to a waste of time, a complete bore.

I think if he cared enough about being a top fighter, I think he had the skills.

Thoughts.

He was still good. He just got robbed a bunch of times.

I disagree, I found his clowning around more entertaining.

You gonna tell me this isn't entertaining. Once you have that many loses, the only thing that runs threw your mind is, "Fuck It!".

[oaklandstephen]

his style is what made him a legend in his own right and is the reason so many people respect him. im definetly a fan of augustus .

this dude got bout 35 wins and 35 losses with bout 30 robberies. he couldve been something but i think the judges didnt like his style

Funny thing is that Augutus didn't have to mess around. Most of his opponents were probably thinking, "Mother fucker fight!" and funny thing is he could do that. He could brawl with the best of them.

a lot of his robberies were in the other guys hometown too

Well, not without talent that's for sure. He's the one that gave Mayweather Jr his hardest fight , up until today none ever gave Mayweather that beating that Emanuel did simply because Mayweather couldn't figure out how to get to him, his awkward style.

I agree with most here, especially with the robberies. Just recently, he outworked Figueroa and thought that he got robbed again.

True that. The judges didn't like his style. I wished he had been more serious.

Do you think the robberies changed his style? Did he always fight this way?
