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

[Mr. Invincible]

I'm well on topic. Which is why I used the word hyperbole and highlighted your texted. You said that he was elbowing and turning his back the whole fight, that is an exaggeration to prove your "point" and you failed. You just whine and complain like the rest of the Hatton fans that are still bitter about Hatton getting stopped. Get over it, bro.

Lol, at you thinking you know something about me. I'm also glad to hear you don't exaggerate on anything. If so, you are probably the only person to do so. the point was made that Floyd used illegal tactics and the ref allowed it and also allowed him to fight exactly as he wanted to. It's a known thing that Cortez rolled like that and even moreso after the Ortiz fiasco.

Oh and I'm well over a fight that happened 4+ years ago Floyd fan.

I'm glad you idolize a racist street thug that happens to be a multi-millionaire.
It says a lot about you.

Rules are rules. Mayweather won too, so what you're implying is that it's not okay to turn your back once if your pummeling your opponent but it is okay if you are losing to turn your back....?

I was just telling you why nobody made a big deal about that one. I didn't even see that fight and couldn't care less about it.

If you didn't see flaws in the ref job in the Mayweather-Hatton fight, you don't know enough about the sport to be posting on here, much less debating with me.

Since we are using analogies. Just by looking at the women your friend has had sex with using your two eyes you could in fact without a doubt tell HIM who was his best piece of *****? I mean he is the one who had sex with them not you!

That's a terrible analogy.

oh awesome, it would be nice if boxingscene would give the person who asked that question credit, oh wait that was me.

I always thought Mayweather would say castillo was his toughest opponent.

[edgarg]

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

I saw the fight when it happened and was very surprised to see Mayweather actually fighting. Until then I'd seen him only is very low quality boring, safety first fights. But in this one, he was being actively and skillfully attacked and had to either run or trade back, which is what he did. It was his best fight as far as I'm concerned. Augustus gave as good as he got and forced Mayweather to give ground often. Under different management and training, he could have been a world champ. I've always said this, and, to clear up any misconstructions, Mayweather has always said with no hesitation, almost from the time of that fight, that it was his toughest fight.

And as someone has said, closest doesn't mean toughest-I believe, along with all the experts, that Mayeather lost the first Castillo fight. Although it's scored by rounds, and compubox isn't everything, yet the Castillo figures were about double those of Mayweather who was mainly trying to defend against relentless pursuit. Perhaps if I have another look I might change my mind, but, other than the Augustus fight, I never replay them. Too many good fights out there to look at.

Emanuel Augustus is an ESPN legend!!!!

Damn bro i thought that was mayweather in your bottom sig arguing with a women over a parking space.

[commonsense81]

Damn so now people gonna lean on PBF for who HE feels was his toughest fight. WOW!!!!! Man when you got people telling you who your toughest fight was you know something is wrong with people.

co sign its the manny was just asked that same question and he said that it was cotto. believable because he got his ear drum busted. Floyd I believe suffered a cut in his fight the drunken master why cant people believe that this was his toughest fight?????

[ermesc]

so my ? is .....Is this Augustus ( I dont really know who he is - neither 90% of the boxing fans) better than Cotto???? cause if Cotto is way more of a better fighter than this Augustus well.....you do the math!

[CHOWWOKKA]

I know more about Mayweather then Mayweather knows about Mayweather, and Mayweather's toughest fight was JLC!!!

[I Love Jesus!]

The bold is your opinion what PBF said was HIS fact. How you gonna tell somebody what they toughest fight was? Please explain that to me. I can respect your opinion on it but you can't tell somebody who went through it what was tougher for them.

There is no chance he is lying to avoid bringing up the fight many think he lost?
