Emanuel “The Drunken Master” Augustus

[Violent Demise]

One of boxing's biggest waste of talent.

Yep,agreed as above. The man had something special.Went back and re watched the Olivera fight again.One of the most bizarre affairs Ive ever seen.Sucra was Holding his head and still throwing punches...screaming.If any thing,Augustus can also be called a humanitarian, He made it a point after that to NOT throw any thing to Rays head,threw ALL body shots and was pulling many of them.Just Insane fight,sad really.He's on the other side and Welterweight will not bode well for him.

Emanuel Augustus formerly known as Emanuel Burton = one of my favorite ATHLETES to watch = the hardest fight of Floyd Mayweather's career (according to Pretty Boy Floydd himself).

If you've watched him, anything is possible with this guy. Depends on which Drunken Master shows up . . . the yellow belt or the black belt.

Augustus could be succesful at 140.
He could beat Malignaggi, Bradley and Torres.
An in form Hatton beats him mind, Holt may or may not beat him.

If Hatton retires I don't think there's anyone that could beat Augustus at 140.

I agree, although Holt could be good.

The beauty of watching Augustus fight is that he makes fights entertaining, I agree that a fight with Holt would be good, but Augustus IMO is a level above.

Floyd Mayweather said that before he fought Jesus Chavez Jose Luis Castillo etc..........

It wasn't really tough fight Floyd Mayweather dominated him except for one punch that broke Floyd Mayweather's nose but other than that Floyd Mayweather controlled Emanuel Burton quite easily........

But Emanuel Burton's fight with Micky Ward was a classic and was even better than Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward 1 the last round was incredible Micky Ward threw over 170 punches thats just insane.

I don't want to upset the Augustus love thread.. but maybe he should have been banned from boxing for taking that blatant dive against Allen Vester

Agreed. One of my favorite fighters but I still to this day look at his record and think WTF!!! A real waste of talent but was very entertaining nonetheless. Him and Ward's fight is a classic IMO.

His best days are past him, no doubt. He should hang them up before his losses overtake his wins.
