I know very little about boxing but ran across this video and was blown away.

You need to do a lot more research on him. He's quite an interesting character

Should be in the HOF.

Yes, I'm serious.

Boxing needs a Foyer of Fun that you first enter before getting into the Hall of Fame.

Augustus would be in the Foyer

If I recall, Floyd Mayweather jr still says this was his toughest fight(although I believe Castillo 1 was). Augustus was on the wrong end of some truly horrific decisions. His record doesn’t do him justice

Does anything come to mind?

I wonder why cant actual drunken monkey kung fu cannot work in boxing then.

 

[tommy_joe20]

Watch his fight with Micky ward, absolute barn stormer and think it was FOTY

Sparring with Floyd

Fun guy to watch but he wasn't that great. Similar to niccolino locche in that sense.

As @Shoemaker pointed out, the assclown that got wiped out by Ryan Garcia last night was acting like a poor man's Augustus. The thing is : you've got to be a very good boxer to actually be an Emmanuel Augustus.

I do agree with the guy's being special enough to deserve a spot in the HoF.

Modern Martial Artist does good work.

That he is willing and open minded to compete at a highlevel from that highly unorthodox and original style itself makes him great.

People like him have such an uphill battle going against the closed mindedness and dogmatic nature of most people.

locche only has 4 loses, agustus has 34.
