    Greg Haugen

    I just watched the repeat when he faught Camacho. He won, then they stripped him and called it a no contest.... (it kept macho undefeated) He had THC in his system. That was BS!!!!

    I would rather fight a stoned dude than a straight dude. If he was on coke or something, then it would be understandable.

    Now your taking! I am from Seattle and Greg Haugen is from Auburn about 20 minutes from Seattle. He was a real big deal for a while and a guy that was tough as nails. I believe he tested positive in the first fight with Hector. Take a peak at his fights with Vinny Pazienza, those were greats fights, in fact the very fist fight I ever scored ( I was little and my dad was helping me learn)was PAZ v. HAUGEN 1. I can't remember how I had it but it was a start. Haugen's entrance "born in the usa" against Chavez in Mexico City was classic as well, had he of somehow beat JC that night those fans would have never let him out of th stadium alive.

    A painful memory but a really good fight too see would be when Haugen took on Pernell Whitaker, this was PErnell in his prime 100%...at the weight Pernell was a world beater...it has been sometime since I have seen that fight but it was ugly...Quite possibly the most dominating that PErnell ever looked was against Haugen.

        Keep in mind that HAugen was way past his prime at this point in his career...Haugen deserves a lot of credit for even getting that fight in the first place...he was no where near deserving of that title shot...but he managed to call JC Superstar out and say countless things about his family etc. JC took that fight as personally as any he ever was in. Point is that was not the HAugen that was the champ....also keep in mind that HAugen had serious limits...I don't want to make it sound like he was a world beater because he wasn't, he had a lot of heart and in certain instances it made up for the talent that he lacked with that heart.
