Watched his obvious ones vs Floyd Mayweather Jr, Micky Ward. Looking for some of his best fights, i've heard he's had a few FOTY candidates. Could anyone help me out ?

You've probally seen it but check out his win over Sucra Oliveria.Just astonishing his theatrics as well as the drama between he,Smoger and Ray as it went on.Grabbing his head,screaming in corner.True act of concern by Augustus as he saw Olivera in clear distress and refused to hit him in the head....going to only the body while Ray was holding his head with one hand wincing and throwing punches with the other....very crazy stuff.Augustus lands his 'double punch' somewhere in there also.
His fight with Alex Trujillo - Boxer was entertaining from what I remember. He does his trademark drunken master dance throughout most of the fight ;D
Shame he didn't fight Gatti...that would have been a good one.
If you ever want to see an angry Emmanuel Augustas where he just goes out all business watch the 2nd Burton fight...Makes you wonder how he ever wasn't champion
Just watched his fight vs Ray Oliveira, great performance from Emanuel Augustus he looked like a champ in that fight. And what sportsmanship from him when there was something clearly wrong with Ray Olivera's head, he wouldn't hit him in the head. I think im becoming a fan he sure is great to watch.
The 1st Courtney Burton fight was entertaining as well. That was the 1st fight i'd seen of him, I was sold from that point on.
Augustus is AWESOME to watch - He is quality, like Daxx said makes you wonder how he never became a champ.
Check out Augustus vs Herman Ndougjo
Obviously Herman is solid, took Malignaggi and Castillo to the wire but...well just watch the fight.
Ndoujo does well at the start but just watch how the tide turns..
His fight with Figueroa was pretty good, but he was robbed again, he should get an HBO contract or something the guy is great to watch he should be on the PPV undercards rather then seeing the same Alfonzo Gomez and John Duddy
Thanks for all your suggestion guys, i've watched 2 other Emanuel Augustus fights since i last posted. I just watched his fight vs Jaime Rangel, great comeback win from Emanuel Augustus. And also the most technical i've ever seen him, he was all business in that fight.
I just watched his 1st fight with Courtney Burton, man what a robbery that was i felt sorry for Emanuel Augustus in that one. The ref was against him from the opening bell, i also loved an antic he done in that fight. Where he spun around avoided a punch and still countered his opponent.
That was like a Pernell Whitaker move, i really don't know how he hasn't been on HBO. Or he hasn't had more title shots, from the fights i've seen at his best he looks like an elite fighter, the only problem i see is that sometimes his showboating goes against him, and he does take fights on very short notice.
But that just goes to show how much of a warrior he is, i've seen like 6 of his fights. And all 6 of them have been FOTY canidates, what a great guy to watch. Can't wait to watch more of his fights.
You seem to be enjoying yourself Ice. That's good man... Some people refer to EA like he's a joke. I know he's let himself down in some big ways, particularly the Allan Vester fight but still, he was a top fighter and a great entertainer.Quote:

He was a very underrated fighter and got screwed over on many decisions.Quote:

Just don't watch his fight against Kid Diamond.
That was his big shot and he let himself and all his fans down that night.
:(
But he did redeem himself with the Figueroa fight that was on HBO PPV. He just got robbed.Quote:

And his last fight which was a TKO loss he had gone all the way up to 147 so i dont count that much
Yeah he beat Figuaro and got robbed.
Then Figuaro got KTFO by Randall Bailey.
Augustus should have been banned for life for that Vester fight. Total disgrace. Could have cost people serious dough
