A look back at the career of Greg Haugen, who would make an unlikely rise out of Tough Man contests in Alaska to become two-time lightweight champion of the world.

Love it! So many sad endings to these boxing documentaries. Haugen’s ends with “I aint rich, but i cant complain” then guitar solos and a fight montage. Pure badass

I love Haugen. Casual boxing fans will only know about him getting knocked out in 5 by Chavez after calling JC's opponents "Tijuana taxi cab drivers." That fight drew 132,000. He beat Jimmy Paul, Vinnie Pazienza, Ray Mancini, Hector Camacho and others. He was a three-time world champ (IBF 135 twice, WBO 140). I loved his smart ass attitude. He had a good career. 🥊👍

I followed Greg from the time he won the tough man contest in Alaska. He had all the right stuff to move to the top, and he did. Boxing is so damn tough, that even when you have all the pieces, you still need to continue to study your craft and train likes its going to be your last fight. No other sport, puts that much pressure on you and your family. So when you hear, a boxer's hardships, it's reflects how much the bubble has taken out of him to compete at such a high level. By boxing standards, Haugen had a very successful career. Two time champion who beat some extremely talented champions such as Camacho, Paul & and a poorly rebooted Ray Mancini. No excuses should be made for Greg. He was terrific during his reign. At some point, they all suffer a downfall and we all seem to feel that something went terribly wrong. But considering what some of these boxers made of themselves, it's easy to conclude that they made the right decision to give boxing a go

In the post Camacho fight interview, Merchant tries to downplay his victory by saying that it looked like the punches Camacho threw before the bell didn't land and therefore a point sholdn't have been taken away. And without missing a beat Haugen replies "he was missing a lot of punches". Classic!!

Greg is from an era where real tough guys talked with their fists, not their mouths. The trash talk was cheap. He didn't need to sound like a Conor McGregor to get over with fight fans. This guy just walked the walk and won fights he should have lost on paper. True fight fans respect that much more than someone who can spit fire in an interview, then when the time comes they throw pillows instead of bricks. His fights against Vinnie Paz and Macho Camacho were legendary.

During one of the classes, a family by the last name of Haugen came in and so I immediately told them that they had a head start on everyone by having a legit boxing name. It turns out they were related to Greg and they were happy to hear that I knew him! Pretty cool. Anyways, great video as always. Haugen was always a personal favorite. He had guts, solid skills and never made excuses for his losses. A real fighter. If you are reading this, Greg, hope you are well!

Lifetime boxing fan from Boston. I watched a Rocky Marciano fight on tv with my Dad when I was 6 years old and watched the Friday night fights for years throughout the 60’s. I always thought a lot of Greg Haugen; he was a terrific fighter.
