Emanuel Augustus- Honorary Champion?

[Hulk]

I doubt Augustus would want to be named honorary anything, unless he really earned it.

[ykdadamaja]

I think he should.

I loved watching him, but he never got a title shot for a reason. There was no period in his career where he really strung any good wins together as far as I know, he'd always follow up a good performance by losing to a fringe contender or some random prospect etc. I'm sure he always needed money and never had any backing behind him, but he still didn't take himself seriously enough. He took at least one dive as well, shortly after beating THaxton in the UK and being on a pretty good run, what the hell can you expect after pulling that.

What dive did he take? Which fight??

One in Europe. Might have been in Denmark. It was terrible and very embarrassing to watch. It's on a YouTube.

Just saw it. He dove at the last 5 seconds of the 12th against Allan Vester. Vester went on to be destroyed by Zab Judah. Clearly a dive and most likely he knew he would be robbed anyways.

Did any of them punches land in the end? He timed his dive perfect
