augustus was from that great era where american domestic level guys (think nabf title max ) and fringe guys would get showcased on nationally televised cards, friday night fights. so many good scraps from that time, that's where the august-ward war took place

williams was a bit like a lower tier david haye. cruiser sized guy bulked up, but with real speed and power. unfortunetly for him , had a chin of fine china

there is a real good amateur fight of him in the dark outfit vs a tough russian on youtube, big ending

I was always fascinated by Jorge Luis Gonzalez. I love heavyweight hubris.

Ok thanks for that. Luckily I don't recognise WBA as a governing body.

Can remember BN picked Scott Lawton to beat him, weird.

Think Affif Djelti worth a mention too.

Got to go with Michael Katsidis... Was a massive fan following the Graham Earl War and had some dedent wins but could never get to a full world champion. Think I heard he got himself involved in drugs later in his life which is a shame
