| Gotta love how he baited Hector Camacho into hitting him during the touching of gloves at the beginning of the 12th round. That point deduction lost Camacho the fight. |

Yup. Of course being smarter than Hector Camacho is a little like hitting harder than Ivan Calderon. |

| Will be remembered for his comments prior to the Chavez fight and the beating he took for saying it. |

He said Chavez fought nothing but a bunch of Tijuana cab drivers, amongst other things that only amped up the beating he took.

| To his credit, he sold that fight like a motherfucker. Obviously Chavez in Mexico was gonna sell regardless, but he had those people ON FIRE. Over 100,000 pissed off Mexicans screaming for his head. |

Had Haugen somehow would have won,he would have been lucky to have made it out of there alive. |

Ususally things like thata re said in jest, but you and I both know this is one instance where that may have been true. It would have made the aftermath of Hagler vs Minter look like kid shit.

Agreed.Haugen had a pair of brass balls to take on Chavez in his own backyard.I don't believe he was joking when he made the "cab driver" comment. |

I'm not sure I've ever seen a fighter play to the crowd the way Chavez did that day. Hurt Haugen, crowd roars, Chavez backs off and lets him recover, Repeat. It was a complete cat and mouse job. |

| I always thought of Haugen as an overachiever, he went a long way with what he had, but he never quite made it to the next level. Before he started getting his ass kicked by better competition, he was fun to watch, he made some decent paydays as a Pro, I hope he's still got some of the money he earned. |
