Which of these sentences are correct:

1-I was as fooled as you.
2-I was as much fooled as you.

3-I was as beaten up as you.
4-I was as much beaten up as you.
(Meaning: I had been beaten-up as much as you. I could be qualified as 'beaten up' as much as you.)

3-I got as beaten up as you.
4-I got as much beaten up as you.
(Meaning: I got beaten up as much as you did.)

Thanks a lot Mr Micawber,
I am sorry about the mess I made with the numbers (apparently i am better with colors!)

Would you say the blue sentences were wrong?

They seem grammatically OK but awkward to me. Perhaps something we would hear more in speech.
