    Where does Johnny Tapia rank all time at Bantam?

    Most of his best work was at 115lbs but he was still a major force at bantam later in his career. So where does he rank all time in this historic division?

    For me he's probably lower half of the top 10, around 9th or 10th based on his skill, power, fighting heart, chin.

        His 2 fights with Ayala were ***in' amazing! There should of been a trilogy with Ayala cuz Tapia was robbed in that second fight.

              Agreed.

              Tapia had the power and skills to walk through Rigo. I don't even see it being competitive. Rigos punches would just bounce off Johnny.

                    So you call him a beast but refuse to rank him as an ATG bantam
