Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Emanuel Augustus Was My Toughest Fight

[The Big Dunn]

Pride and ego. Why would Floyd admit his toughest fight was one a good amount of people think he lost? That's like giving those same people ammunition to say he knows he should have lost. So of course he won't say Castillo was tougher.

But its 10 years later, not 10 days or weeks.

That don't even make sense. He won an immediate rematch. Regardless of whether people think he lost or not PBF doesn't have to agree with anybody on what was his toughest fight.

So I guess just based off looks of a woman you can tell your friend who was his best piece of p@ssy? Even though he is the one who had sex with them.

That proves my point exactly. Right there, thank you. Once again, treating the first fight like it didn't happen or doesn't matter because of the second fight. Floyd probably does the same thing. Pride and ego.

I'm done. I'm sick of people dismissing Castillo because of the rematch, like it makes the first fight not matter.

what made Augustus tough is the same thing that makes P. Will, Marg, and Pac tough matchups for him, high volume, lots of determination, and punches from many angles. No doubt that since then his team has kept him away from game volume punchers.

What does giving a rematch prove? That the first was tough and close, OK. But a rematch doesn't mean that was said persons toughest fight. Who dismissed Castillo?

I just don't understand how the person who actually fought the fights states what he knows and you state what you think and you feel what you saying is fact? That doesn't make sense. PBF vs Castillo were great fights that doesn't mean that PBF should feel that is his toughest fight.

Win or lose, Floyd had more trouble with Castillo. It's crazy to think otherwise, and even if Floyd won't admit it, we all know it.

Actually he didn't. It was closer on the cards (at least it should have been), but that doesn't make a fight harder. Physically the Augustus fight was Floyd's toughest. Also this IS NOT NEWS TO PEOPLE WITH A GOOD MEMORY!!!! Roger mentioned this a while back!!!!!

[V.WEBB]

He's been saying that the Augustus fight was his toughest fight for years now.

Because the Hatton fight wasn't that tough. He systematically took Hatton apart.

What Augustus has, which many fighters don't, is a lack of fear (arguably a disregard for his health). He'll happily trade blow for blow if he thinks it is entertaining.

And Hatton never did that did he?

[Barry Halls]

Everyone knows it's Castillo but both Floyd and Floyd SR likes to say it's Augustus. And it was a good fight, but obviously Castillo was a tougher one. He had to dig real deep to win that one, and some people still feel he lost.

[Mr. Invincible]

Didn't he cry when he beat Hatton? He knew Hatton got duped by the ref and was still scared he may be down on the cards because he was still getting roughed up. I don't care what he says, that fight and Castillo 1 were tougher fights for him.

[MrClutch85]

It was his toughest fight due to his inactivity
