The Best Boxer You've Never Heard Of - The Drunken Master

You cats completely missed the gem that was dropped on that vid...

Floyd figured out Augustus cadance and timing and it was a wrap after that..

That's what makes Floyd above all boxers he takes the first 3-4 rounds to figure out your movements and timing on the fly and he adjust within the fight.. rounds 5-12 he already completely dominated you

Nobody missed anything. Most boxing fans on this site know who Emanuel Burton/Augustus is.

On more than one occasion Floyd has mentioned him as being his toughest fight.
 
I always liked watching his fights on Friday night fights. Used to go by Emanuel Burton.

What's up with this dude now? Wasn't he shot and got fucked real bad?

In 2006, Augustus was the subject of a documentary film entitled The Journeyman filmed in Brownsville, Texas. Documentary filmmaker Sean Lynn followed the career of Augustus to that point.[citation needed]

During a 2012 interview with boxing expert Dan Rafael, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stated Augustus was the toughest opponent he had faced in his career.

On the night of October 13, 2014, Augustus was critically wounded after being shot in the back of the head from a random gunshot and was on life support.[1] Baton Rouge Police named 21-year-old Christopher Stills as a suspect in the crime, but subsequently dropped charges due to lack of witnesses or evidence of intent, as Stills was alleged to have fired a gun several times in the air but not at a target..[2] Augustus is now doing better, and is living with his sister in Baton Rouge. As of April 2016, Augustus is engaged to be married, in improved health and spirits, and remains in training for a possible comeback in the ring[3]
