Emanuel “The Drunken Master” Augustus

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.

Augustus is indeed a level above and perhaps I'm overrating Holts potential.

But I do think that Kendall can develop and become quite a good champion, although at the mo, Augustus would dominate him.

You are right on the point that I am considering current skill set, Holt does have the potential to improve, which would change the equation entirely.

Well on the other hand, by the time Holt reaches his full potential Augustus could (and probably should) be happily retired.

Augustus better quit while he is ahead or his nick name will be the Permanent Drunken Master. I wish I was JOKING but I see it coming. Augustus,Gatti,Holyfield. Please stop before U kill yourselves. In 3 years nobody will even be talking about U. Im saying all of this out of kindness.

I have to disagree completely with you guys, Holt would take Augustus to school at this point, as would Malinaggi. I think Torres would stop him. It's been well over a year since Augustus fought anyone substantial, if you consider Kid Diamond to have some substance.

I believe he's shot now.Yes a crazy style that would confuse inexpierenced fighters,but at the top I don't think he could beat anyone now at 140. After his fight with Raiymkulov I thought he'd retire.

Wasn't that a last minute thing for Augustus though? I remember handicapping that fight for the sports book and I had to pull the fight because of the last minute change.
