R.I.P. Johnny Tapia

[TBear]

I am very sad to hear that boxing great Johnny Tapia has been found dead in his Albuquerque home. He was 45-years-old.

I have followed him since he was young and through his whole career he was a very loveable person and fighter. This is very sad news.

Wow, very sad news. He was doing a few things in the sport and was becoming more visible. RIP, a guy that had a hard life and tried to make the best of it with all those inner demons constantly in him.
