Johnny Tapia vs...

[BigStereotype]

How would Johnny Tapia do against these bantamweights? I know he was more of a 115 guy, but he's still an "old-school 8" bantamweight and with a guy that tough and determined, those three pounds wouldn't mean ****.

Rafael Marquez
Fighting Harada
Nonito Donaire
Ruben Olivares
Carlos Zarate
Eder Jofre

I think all of those would just be fantastic fights. And I'm not sure how Tapia would fare against those greats.

He losses by decision to all of them except Zarate maybe but they would all be great fights

I don't know, I think he could at least decision Donaire and Rafa. Too slippery and active for the counterpunching Donaire and too fast for Marquez. The Harada fight would be CRAZY! Those two mad bombers going away in the ring would just be a glorious matchup.

Didn't really want to post in here because I love Tapia and at first glance he would loose to all of them by decision, but, after a bit more thought I think he could probably decision Harada and maybe Marquez, don't really fancy his chances against the others.

Really? I think he'd be a solid favorite over Donaire. The matchup of his chin vs. Zarrate/Olivares' power would be pretty interesting to see. And I don't really know that much about Jofre tbh Haven't seen that many of his fights.
