    I think that ship has sailed.

    His best chance is against Holt..... If David Diaz and Jaime Rangel can drop Holt.... and if Thomas Davis can knock him out, EA has a shot....

    Could he upset Kotelnik~?? doubt it.....

    He did come close to beating Ngoudjo who is in line to fight Urango for a vacant belt.... Urango isnt active enough so EA also has a shot there...

    I don't care if Eddie Futch was training Augustus he would not win a title.

    No, his time has passed. He looks like a shell of his former self these days, and though he may only be 33 (which isn't THAT young for someone fighting around WW and below), there's a ton of mileage on his body.

    He's very entertaining to watch but not championship material
