With some of the issues he had, I guess a long life was not in the cards for Johnny Tapia. Still, it's sad to read about this. He was one of my favorites.
I just hope he's at peace now.

Well put, Tobes. When the unanimous decision of Tapia over Romero was announced it was a great moment in sports -- you could feel the electricity as the crowd exploded. Poor Johnny ... I liked him.
