Is Johny Tapia underrated?

[RightCross94]

Tapia would have boxed Hamed's ears off

and to the moron that questioned Tapia's chin, if i recall the only time he has been stopped was off a bodyshot when he was well past it, he had a great chin

Dammit, why did you have to ruin it? I was waiting for his response!

[RightCross94]

Would of been similar to Naz vs Paul Ingle,
Ingle gave him some trouble and landed flush on a few occassions,
just took one shot tho to finish paul and thats what happened.
Id say a fight with Tapia would of ended the same way

What kind of a comparisent is that?

yeah but you have no basis for this belief. Tapia had a GREAT chin and I doubt very much Hamed would've KO'ed him. Your logic is strange (the Ingle fight??). Using that kind of weird logic I could argue that Tapia had more KO power than Hamed because Cesar Soto went 12 with Naz and Tapia got him out of there in three. But I don't believe that. Just like I don't believe you know what you're talking about.

Wayne McCullogh was a good fighter and very tough, he did indeed have a great chin and got hit much more than Tapia...So yeah maybe his chin was better. But Tapia had much better skills and defence, Hamed wouldnt be hitting him much at all.

Look guys like Hamed are great to watch (i happen to like hamed a lot and he was great for the lower weight classes) but they don't last long. Once they are in there with a elite level well schooled boxer who isnt intimidated by speed or power they are fucked. They thrive off fighting ****** fighters who just rush in and trade, a smart fighter like Tapia would have kept Hamed moving, not letting him get his feet set to throw his big powershots, peppering him, tapia would either be too close to hit or too far out of range, and when hamed did try to throw a big powershot tapia would slide back, exploiting hameds bad technique and then counter. Simple.

I guarantee he's seen Tapia fight...once? If that.

For a lot of people his personal life overshadowed his professional career, it's unfortunate but it happens. Tapia was a real good boxer though, can't take that away from him.

all the boxing he's seen was probably highlights of hamed doing something cool on youtube, and maybe a few hatton fights down at the pub that he can't really remember watching because he was pissed
