    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    I might click on the front page actually,.. it's been a while, I think the last time I didnt take the URL route directly to the forums was when I welched all the Toney vs Danny Green sparring sessions,..and didnt even think of saying a conscious thank you, like rat to breadcrumbs baby,... does John Garfield still live here?..anyway,.. you just keep paying the server fees to preserve my internet life you utter Peurto Rican bastard.

    Suckgustus is a bum. Why is this bum still being discussed. He is a glorified club fighter.

    gatti either got beatdown or went life and death with every black guy he ever fought aside from a finished millet. including plenty of guys worse than augustus.

    not sure who would've won between gatti vs. augustus, but if it was the same gatti who showed up against hutchinson, he would've gotten his ass kicked.

    Augustus is a legend.

    Figueroa used to post here some time ago, seemed like a nice enough guy.

    it is a pertinent point that you can't refute, Señor Baldelli.

    gatti was no better than augustus and he wouldn't have been any more popular either if he wasnt a gringo. the fact of the matter is, when has hbo EVER allowed one of its contracted fighters to face sooooo many white opponents in a row like gatti did for yearS?

    It is a silly point from a person who is just not very knowledgeable. I don't understand your constant trashing of Gatti. I have never read anyone here ever say Gatti was very good. He was a tv fighter who even though he wasn't good went out of his way to fight Mayweather in a fight everyone except him knew he'd be slaughtered.
    I don't know why I respond to you. Your very name was given to you because your mother noticed at a young age that as soon as a black person appeared on the tv your dropped to your knees and began sucking. Only you could turn a thread about a club fighter pot head into a self hating Jewish take on Black superiority.

    sounds exactly like augustus to me, baldelli. you shouldn't respond. all you do is deliver your hypocrisy to the forefront.

    Augustus could catch Gatti on an off night, but I'd go with Gatti to win most of the time.
