Greg Haugen

Was very underrated. Got beaten up by Chavez very badly in an easy fight for Chavez.

Haugen was a a real warrior, his attitude was what did him in imo

It's weird because I'd never think he could lose/ win that close of decisions to Hector Camacho. I haven't watched those 2 fights but if you asked me who'd win between those 2, I'd quickly say Hector. I'm gonna try and download that tomorrow.

He had two absolute wars with Pazienza, great fights.

Decent counter puncher, good/underrated jab, tough as fcuk.

He got schooled!! by Whitaker in one of the most complete Boxing performances ive ever seen, although he did manage to beat Camacho in a close fight. I felt Camacho lost that fight by going negative in the last 2/3 round, he tried to hit Haugen on break in the 12th round and got himself a point deduction which probably lost him the fight.

I watched him since the begining and he was definitely a big over achiever. Won alot of fights even I didn't expect. Always had a good attitude any very likable!

Haugen had a better career than most boxers, though not as good as some boxers. Some boxers had better careers.

Excellent post. It's important to note that he was not the greatest of all time, but he was not the worst of all time either. He was probably correctly placed somewhere in the middle.

Knew nothing about him, but saw many of his fights on ESPN classic and man was he a tough SOB. Love those wars with Pazienza. Not a gifted or special fighter, but we need more guys like Haugen out there.

I think an important distinction to make is that he was a champion and other fighters were not, though there are many better champions than him too. He was better than some champions, not as good as others, but maybe better than most fighters who weren't champions.

His wars with Paz were definitely classics. Pure heart from them both!
