    I must admit, being an Ohio native, "Boom Boom" is gonna be hard to pick against. However, Vinny Paz was a BAD MUTHA' ****A'!!!

    So basically the poll question is:

    Who rates Higher as the Better overall fighter (Skill, Toughness and Resume)?

    I always believe Pazienza was "More Skilled".

    All three were pretty good fighters but Mancini I think was a bit better than Paz and Greg. A little bit more refined.

    Edit: I just reread that, I'm still groggy. Just on a technical level, I say Mancini. Paz might make up the difference with his light middleweight title and toughness. He's a bit underrated skill-wise too, I think.

    Haugen.......:good

    Pazienza was just a loud mouth clown.

    And Boom-boom was nothing but a well promoted club fighter.

    I'd say Mancini was technically the better fighter but Pazienza had the better resume. Haugen was a very good titlist but in his losses used questionable tactics and didnt adjust at times. Mancini fought in a deeper lightweight divison and had to fight an all-time great in his first title fight as a young guy fighting Alexis Arguello.

    Examples?

    Surely you jest:lol:....they just had Bramble/Mancini II on, and Mancini did what he always did....led with his head.
    Sure he had heart, but he could not box, he was strictly a come foreward looking at the mat fighter when he punched. Anyone who he fought that was "skilled" either gave him a boxing lesson beating or KO'd him......

    I don't see Paz as all that skilled, Gatti was better. Boom Boom is a cut above both these guys, he could give serious competition to serious fighters. Haugen and Pazienza were nothing to the elite fighters.
