Very good analysis.

I like Paz and Haugen a lot. Though their fights never lived up to the hype.

Haugen gets a bad rap all because he mouthed off about Mexicans and got hammered by Chavez. BUT Haugen was a pretty damn good fighter.

Haugen PICKED HIS SHOTS. He knew how to box, to slip, and to counter. He was a very fundamentally sound little fighter.
