    He's all-time gutsy, and he's had his moments, but I don't think he's an all-time great. I love to watch the guy fight though. Nobody seems to enjoy himself more in the ring...

              everyone around him died and he started using ******* heavily when he was 16. He's never quit, and been in rehab time in and time out. I'd say the odds are slim to none.

              I hate to be the pessimist...because he's one of my top 5 all time favorite fighters and persons in the sport...but I'ts been a hard road for Johnny and if we know anything its this.

              History repeats itself.

                You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RunWithKnives again.

                  I've seen Tapia's documentary on 'Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel' and holy crap, his wife is a friggin' saint that she's still with Johnny.

                  Honestly, I like Tapia as well, a great and exciting fighter, but I don't think he's gonna make it into HOF.

                    Johnny Tapia was great for his time, not all-time great.
