Former Two-Time IBF World Lightweight Champion, Greg Haugen, Dies

Post by elmersalsa »

Former two-time IBF World Lightweight Champion, Greg Haugen, dies. One of the toughies of the 80s decade, was most known for accusing the great Julio Cesar Chavez that Chavez padded his record by fighting Tijuana taxi drivers.

He was 64. RIP, champ! :bow: :bow: :bow: :TU: :TU: :TU:

Met him in 2008 at hall of fame induction in Los Angeles. He had a swollen eye from a street fight just prior. He was a take no shit kinda guy. Much respect.
