      Tapia would be competitive and would not get stopped. Hard to say who would win because todays champions are not through yet but at super flyweight Tapia would also be an interesting matchup with today's lot.

              Depends on what you mean. If you're talking about prime Tapia, then he has a chance at beating them all. He's too fast for Darchinyan and would wear him down. He could handle Donaire, who might have the best chance with him.

              Montiel probably couldn't stop him, so he'd have very litle chance. Mares is still a little untested, though he could have a decent chance as well. Would probably still lose. Then again, if Donaire-Montiel and Mares-Agbeko winners face off, the winner of that could have just enough to take him out.

                Prime Johnny Tapia, not the 40-45 year old version!!

                  Tapia was the MAN!!! Whoever said he gets knocked out never watched prime Tapia fight. He would struggle with Donaire (hard fight to call), but other then that I think he beats them all.
