Best boxing I have seen

[My Name Is...]

Here you go.............

BUILD-UP -The rivalry between Julio César Chávez and Greg Haugen started a few years before the fight took place. Chávez was training in Las Vegas, and Haugen went to one of his sparring sessions. Haugen told Chávez that he was sparring with "young little girls with dresses on and I'd be willing to spar with him for free to help him out." "I've disliked him since that moment," Chávez admitted. Haugen was finally able to get a fight with Chávez after he had worked his way up to the WBC's #2 contender position. In the leadup to the fight, he said of Chávez, "The way I see it sixty of the guys he fought were just Tijuana cab drivers that my mother could have knocked out, but the other twenty-two are good fighters so I'm not taking him light but I'm not taking him as he's unbeatable either with 82-0." And with the fight set for Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, he said there "ain't 130,000 Mexicans who can afford to buy tickets." Chávez was set to defend himself and his people, responding, "I really hate him bad. When he looks at me, I want to vomit. I am going to give him the worst beating of his life; I am going to make him swallow the words that came out of his dirty mouth."

Its the fact that he had the gull to disrespect a living, walking, and fighting legend. To say he fought taxi cab drivers, puffed his record up, and that he would whoop Chavez ass, then fight like a little *****. Its just made the situation that much worse.

I guess that just makes Haugen a bum. I just wish Chavez would have carried him a bit longer.

Do you apply the same criteria of judgment to your boy Margarito when he called Oscar a coward or whatever?

I think both are somewhat true.

Chavez's record clearly is not as good as 82-0 at that point, because there were some dead mean on his resume, but Haugen obviously qualified it by saying there were some really good fighters. Chavez just suffers from being an oversensitive dude it seems like.

Oscar probably didn't want any part of Margarito, but he obviously was chasing the paycheck more than anything else. Had the money been right, he would have gone out to get slaughtered by Margarito.

And yeah, Oscar is a living, walking legend too.

Here you go.............

Like I said... oversensitive.

Haugen: "Hey, your sparring partners aren't very good... I'd help you out."

Chavez: "A thousand curses on your family, you are now my sworn enemy."

I've met bitches on their period who have more rational reactions than this.

Haugen said that he only said the line with the Tijuana taxidrivers. Don King provided the extras according to Haugen.
