Former five-time world champion Johnny Tapia has signed with former promoter Ron Weathers. A fight is planned as early as March, possibly in Albuquerque.
--------------------
Tapia shouldn't be allowed to fight anymore. He's not the healthiest fighter in the world and being stopped by a guy who wouldn't have qualified as a sparring partner in earlier years is a sign when a guy needs to step away.
On top of that, Tapia balloons when he's out of action and his body is going to suffer. I understand that Tapia needs boxing because otherwise, he's unhappy and turns to drugs. I wish him well, but I'd rather see him step away gracefully.
