Vinny Pazienza

Top 25, easily.

honestly, Pazienza was a pretty good fighter, and fairly underrated. his first two fights with Haugen were real entertaining, although I had Haugen winning both, and his win over Gilbert Dele was surprisingly impressive, considering what he had to go through and how good Dele was

"How crazy and ironic life is," Pazienza remarked. "When I was an amateur fighter, the Duvas took me to Madison Square Garden to watch Roberto Duran fight Davey Moore. So I was sitting there watching, thinking look at this this guy he's awesome, he's an animal. And who would have thought in a million years that I would end up fighting Roberto Duran twice? When I fought Duran, I beat him twice but I don't even count that. It doesn't count because he was like 90 when we fought! He was older than he is now (laughs)."

"That was my greatest night," Vinny told Setanta when speaking about the win over Dele. "I knew to win I had to box. And in the end I knew I was the puncher and I was stopping him."

I think I'll have to take a look at this fight. I just found out that I have it.

If you have it in digital form, would an upload be a possibility?

Pazmania is a for sue HOFer and borderline All-Time great IMO. Paz was an exciting fighter that gave it his all every fight and he was a ****y as they come without being completely disrespectful as so many boxers unfortunately are...

Bat,
The interviews leading up to those 3 fights had some of the funniest lines and cuts I ever heard from fighters. They sounded like WWF (WWE) wrestlers building the gate, only they were serious!

Something else comes to mind when i think of their trilogy....the camera kept panning back inside some bar where Haugen's mom and sisters were smoking cigarettes and drinking bottles of beer. When the decion went against Haugen, all those women were booing, shooting the middle finger at the TV screen, yelling, etc. Not a real classy moment! Just as animated as Frank "The Animal" Fletcher's mom was back in the day on NBC Sport's world.

Both where good talkers, but Haugen was great. He was the Ali of the lightweights when it came to talking. He was pretty darn entertaining.

The guy belongs in the HOF... that's about it..
