    Yeah Yeah I missed it by a day, but that's besides the point.

    Let's do some reviewing.

    Floyd has religiously said fighting Augustus was the hardest fight of his fighting career. I truly believe that.

    I remember that fight! It was a very rough fight for Floyd, and was held On KO Nation! Winky and Bronco also headlined KO Nation IIRC.

    Augustus' skill made it a complicated fight for Floyd and forced Floyd to be the aggressor for most of the fight, but Floyd had an answer for everything and won round handily. It was a learning experience, but not a really tough fight. And if he said it was his toughest fight, you must have missed that both the interviewer and Floyd said it was his toughest fight to that point. Ie, before he fought Castillo and Oscar.

    Good points. I think Floyd's toughest fights were Castillo I and Maidana I. The DLH fight was close but not tougher than those two. (A prime DLH would have been a real tough fight)

    Castillo and Maidana pushed his poop nuggets in. ODLH and Pacquiao beat him.

    MVC isn't a true Void fan. He missed the anniversary.
