      Haugen. Yes. What did he say to Chavez? Something like, "He's been beating up Tijuana cab drivers," right? At least he gave JCC props after taking that savage beating.

        Guerrero talking himself into being a tuneup for Floyd was another example of talking yourself into a big fight
        Wasn't Guerrero in a FOTY against Berto? He at least had that going for him. My nomination is Rolly Romero, talked himself into a payday against Tank.

          Who did Shannon chase on jet skis? Did he get that fight or the Haye fight? That was the first time I seen offline trolling. He even did it to wilder. I think he was going to fight Rampage. Did any of those fights happen?

            Yup. Chavez gave him a beating, could had stopped him before but he pulled back so he can beat on him a few rounds more.

                Briggs chased Wlad even more than Haye did. The Jet Ski the restaurant the gym. No he never did get the fight. Funnily enough Briggs did the same with Haye for a while even fought on Hayes comeback undercard. But he never got the fight. It was all entertaining but all too late in his career
