I love Augustus but he wasn't always fun to watch. He has been inconsistent in his career and while he has some questionable losses, he has some ugly losses too in which he DIDN'T put on a good show. Even the most ardent Augustus fan will admit that he wasn't ever consistent and even as a fan that is a very fair assesment. Plus, there is a huge probability that he took a DIVE against Alan Vester and imo that should disqualify him from the thread on that basis alone. That's not a good show.
Kid Thunder and Zelenoff are terribly entertaining.
Rocky Marciano
Ricardo Mayorga.
Never been in a boring fight in his life.
Cept for when Cory Spinks ran for his life and Mayorga got gyped outta two knockdowns and shoulda won the fight.
Tommy Hearns.
Nigel Benn.
Julian Jackson.
Gatti.
Terry Norris.

That was the Clinton Woods fight i believe.Quote:

I'm sorry to say but the death penalty :fighting0043gi5: is attached to even joking that Nelson was the " ENTERTAINER " he claimed to be. The only PACIFIST to wear gloves and enter a boxing ring.Quote:

completely agree, kat is going for the win in every round from bell to bell. I have actually said that during his fights.Quote:
