    Boxing News gave the impression that he only did his dancing moves because Oliviera didn't pose a threat. Is this the case?

    He tried that **** on Floyd and Floyd had Emmanuel's corner saying "no mas, no mas".

      This was boring two months ago.

        Let's face it, he's impressive to watch and that's about it. He only looks good against bad fighters and always has.

          I'd say so. It looked like Oliviera was out of it from the beginning.

            Glen Johnson was a fighter who had a hard time, lot of loss but kept going and finally got his big break. If Augustus continue is great job in the ring he will deserve a big fight. If a win vs Oliveira was such a big deal for Hatton, why not for Augustus.

            And for those of you who think Emanuel is just a clown then you don't know nothing about boxing!

              Ah! Of course! I take the point, I was slow on the uptake there. Yes, yes, I see what you mean. 25 losses, though? Did he get a real beating from Mayweather?

              I'd certainly like to see him again...

                Augustus was, in my opinion, the strongest opposition of Mayweather (of course aside Castillo 1) but still got his ass whooped! (Mayweather is the 1# P4P)
