    Johnny Tapia

    Johnny Tapia, if you do not know, is one of the greatest fighters of all time. Forget the idea that some may call him a mere "legend". Those people are not true fans of the sport IMO, and he proved skeptics wrong time, and time again.

    Here is a link to an interview he did a few years back, where he discusses some issues in/out of the ring.

    Johnny's interview

    Here is a link to a very good arcticle, as well as written interview with the great.

    In the video, he mentions how he would "hang em up" if he was taking a severe beating in the ring. This would personally, be the most disgusting thing for me to see in professional sports as a whole. He fought, yesterday against a fighter named Frankie Archuleta whom he beat decisevly in a 10 round fight. I saw him fight at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo TX, which is about 10 miles from my house, against Nicky Bentz, who is a native of Reynosa Mexico.

    It seems as though he is placing himself in a spot to have a shot at a decent title. I do not like this. He is not the Johnny of old, and might get "the beating" that he described as being career ending. Please edumacate yourselves people, especially as to this man in general.

    I would pull for him to beat anyone he faces. anyone.

    What are your thoughts on Tapia's continuing career, as well as the memorable battles he has fought IN AND OUT OF THE RING in the past?

    And these arcticles and interviews are old. Like the great himself.

    Johnny is a former five-time world champion, at 38 is beginning to have difficulty with the likes of Frankie Archuleta.
    If he’s going to “hang em up” when he takes a beating, he should have done it when he fought Barrera or after last night’s fight with Archuleta.
    I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Tapia a couple of times, he’s a very likeable guy and the time for him to “hang em up” is now.

        That could happen as soon as July 2nd, against WBC Super Bantamweight champion Oscar Larios, here in Albuquerque.

        I have begun to only dream of this fight, and what the outcome could be. Oh man, this is awesome. Great post round 1. Ill send you some karma and 100k.

        I cant wait for a possible July 2nd matchup between him and Larios. Oh man. Would you say this is a bad idea though?

            I think Johhny should stop overdosing on drugs and try not to attempt to murder his wife anymore. Besides that he has got it going on.

              She beats on him though dude. Really bad. He was talking about "getting hit" by her in the interview. LOL. He is whipped no doubt.

              Like Chris Rock says:

              "If you havent planned out the murder yet......you havent been in love. If you havent been standing over her with a knife......you havent been in love"

              As for the "drugs" thing. That is one of the reasons I like him so much. Overcoming so much adversity, its not even funny.

              Having your family die on you like that, will give plenty of people drug problems.

                    Johnny has been to prison in between world titles and is probably relaxing doing drugs right now.
                    When is time to get serious about the job, he gets really serious. When is time to play and party, he parties to the hilt.
                    If he gets a title shot against Larios, he will not have the reach disadvantage he had last night, it’s a fight he can definitely win.
