actually, Paz had been fighting around that weight for a while. he actually beat an overweight, 40 something Roberto Duran for the title shot I think. Paz has an interesting story, he was in a car crash or something and was supposed to never be able to box again, but ended up pulling some big upsets at 154lbs and up and having a pretty damn good career.Comment

I Loved Him In His Fight Against Roy Jones...he Acts Like The Punches Dont Hurt And Asks For More And He Gets What He Asks...lolactually, Paz Had Been Fighting Around That Weight For A While.

Can you imagine the massacre Duran-Jones would have been had he beaten Paz?
Paz broke his neck in a car accident and wasn't supposed to be able to fight again but made remarkably made a comeback a little over a year later.Comment

well, he did his best and tried to entertain, and lasted a decently long time considering he was fighting Roy Jones and was a former Lightweight.
I feel like Paz is a little underrated. from my judging he actually lost both of his first two fights with Haugen, but he ended up beating Dana Rosenblatt and Honeygam I think, who were pretty good fighters and 160lbs+. Im pretty sure he became a champ at 154lbs or 160lbs too.
pretty inspiring, especially considering that whole car crash business.Comment
