I think Micky Ward Said It best in Describing Augustus lol, He Said He was "Doing all the Puppet Stuff" Lmao I was sitting there 3 days ago watching His Bizarre Fight with Ray Olivera, He hit Olivera with two punches at the same time on 2 different occasions there :o A truly Unique CharacterQuote:

I don't really have a favorite, i like damn near everyone for some reason or another, i'm a fan of a good fight more than i care who it is fighting. I do have a very short list of fighters i dislike though so i'll wait for that post to show up.
1. Evander Holyfield (I Know, but he's still my favorite)
2. Oscar De La Hoya ( Once again still one of my fav's)
3. Marquez brother's
4. Wladimir Klitschko
5. Joe Calzaghe
Manny Pacquiao
Erik Morales (he's still active)
Kelly Pavlik
Joe Calzaghe
Ricky Hatton
Floyd Mayweather (I hate his guts, but boy he's good)
Andre Berto
Miguel Cotto
R. Marquez
J.M. Marquez (If!... he beats Pacquiao);D
Heres mine...They are not who I think is the best but who I like to personally watch....In no particular order
1. Jorge Arce- The Lollipop Cowboy is in exciting bout after exciting bout..win or lose you will be entertained
2. Vinny Maddalone- Vinny is not world class but he will bang for as long as he can stand on his feet...Don't look for any boxing skills in his fight...just pure slugging
3-Isreal Vazquez- He can box. He can brawl. He does them both at the same time
4- Joe Calzaghe- I still can't believe Joe has become one of my favorites but the guy never stops punching and is a class act
5- James Toney- I think James is pretty much retired now but can't help love the attitude that goes will the skill level
6- Corey Spinks- People find him boring. he has almost zero KO power but he gives guys fits...almost to the point guys rather fight anyone else but just out of fear of looking bad if anything
7- Paul Malignaggi- he has heart, he can box, he is arrogant but he entertains..He is a guy you love to hate
8-Carlos Quintana- Just for the fact he beat Williams after Paul spent a yr telling everyone how good he was and how scared everyone was of him
9- Antonio Margarito- He is all business no need for flash and no need for the self rightious sell myself 24/7 campaign. Tony comes in takes care of business and even when he lost to Williams he blamed no one but himself for not getting into the fight....Gotta respect that
10-Nonito Doniare- Been following him since day one. Always knew he was going to be champ one day. The guy works hard outside the ring and is another fighter who rather take care of business between the ropes rather then talk outside. Plus anyone who shuts Vic Darchinyan up for 10 minutes is Good in my book
