Damn, that's messed up. But not suprising. Hopefully Tapia can get his life sorted out. You would think with as hard as his life is that he would join all of these people falling off the face of the earth like David Carradine, Michael Jackson, and Alexis Arguello.

It is shocking how many chances Tapia has gotten. He should just be in jail for the rest of his life.

[MindBat]

Johnny should just buy a jail cell. They should be cheaper nowadays.

It'll be a great a vacation home.

You sound very insensitive, or unthinking. Tapia's crimes are "social" ones, and harm nobody but himself. He is more to be pitied than condemned. He's an incurable drug addict, who, over his long career, gave us some wonderful fights. He needs to be in a medical facility, not a jail.

[edgarg]

On top of all that, he has very few "smarts" which is probably the cause of his constantembroglios with the law and others.

Let the BUM enjoys his stay inside a jail.
