Comments Thread For: Johnny Tapia Found Dead in His Albuquerque Home

[jaded]

Sad news...he's been battling with his demons his entire life.

He had no reason to live. I feel it would have been a better ending if somebody else punished him with death against his own will, just like he killed his wife.

Wow this dude had a lot on his plate sad news

Sad news..RIP.

Your a idiot. While I do agree suicide is the easy way out, you have no idea about what was going on in his life. Johnny had a ****ed up life that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Hopefully he's in a better place now, because Albuquerque is a **** hole and can bring the worst out of people.
RIP Johnny you will be missed. The best fighter to come from New Mexico hands down. Its crazy I just saw him at some fights like 3 weeks ago. One day your here and the next day your gone.

I'm an idiot because I think
Someone that kills themselves is a fuc Ken pu say!? I'm not the one glorifying people that take the easy way out. I just hope it wasnt suicide because if it was he is in hell for sure. From what I understand jt was crazy but was a nice guy

Tapia helped out a lot of people in New Mexico to buy houses when he was making good money, he had a lot of demons and life after boxing can't be easy for anyone.

R.I.P. mi vida loca, i remember all his crazy fights especially with paulie ayala

i was jus watching one of his fights the other day that came on espn classic, dude was tough in the ring

He was one of my favorites at the time. This news came as no surprise at all. It was a matter of when, not if. Nothing in life seem to elevate him above his depression.
