Greg died in February in 2023. He lost his battle with cancer but will live on through his glory in the ring. Greg is worth ten of all of you and 20 of me. Rest in peace champ!!

Knowing Greg has been inducted to the Hall of Fame makes me smile every time I think of it. My home state hero.

"I ain't rich, but I'm alive ...can't complain." That's the way a true tough man talks. Great Documentary - I love watching how all these guys I watched turned out .

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 can't imagine the strength, conditioning and stamina it must take to fight 15 rounds. That's why boxing will always remain my favorite sport. Haugen was brutally tough and will always be a favorite.

Not only was he a great boxer, he was a loving father, his little girl holding up the sign saying "that's my daddy" made my heart melt.

Best attribute of Greg Haugen is that he had a lot guts to fight his rivals in THEIR front yards.
That was rare.

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

Us old bastards that are purists of the sport know how devastating corrupt decisions can be on a fighter's mental well being. I watched every one of Greg's bouts in the eighties. He was gracious in every post fight interview.

Man I loved watching this guy fight back in the day.  Tough as nails and the heart of a lion.  No quit in him.  Wherever he is now, I hope Greg is healthy and at peace and knows how much joy he brought to so many boxing fans

Wow. I remember him. He was tough . What a class act post fights. He fought the best. Glad he’s doing well.

I thought Haugen was just a loud mouth of a fighter because I only knew him because of his loss against Chavez. But hell I was wrong it seems that he's a good guy and always gives props to his opponents when the fight is over..
Great job like always Rich, thank you.

I'm 47 years old now!  And, when when I was a young Kid,  in the mid to late 1980's,  I remember my Daddy, and his work Buddies watching a few of Greg Haugen fights on  ABC Wide World Of Sports at our House, on Saturday afternoons!

I spent two hours talking to him at some fights about 15 years ago, he was a great fighter,  interesting to talk with.

Im mexican and boxing has been part of my life a fighter that fights with hart deserves respect and honor dosent matter what  race he is and haughen deserves just that!!!

Greg's house when he was growing up  had no furniture  little food no curtains on windows    and my aunt worked her butt off trying to support the family ❤

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

Always liked Greg Haugen...great fighter and competitor, glad to see he's doing alright 👍

This guy always gave it his all...all heart and guts...a true Champion! Nothing fancy just pure hard work and determination!

Terrific profile Rich.  He deserves to be remembered.
