    The demons Tyson Fury went through is like childplay compared to the demons that haunted Johnny Tapia.

    I'll give it a watch myself later on, pal. I liked the Hatton one though, and I'm not well informed on Tapia so hopefully I'll learn something! If I could make a request, I'd love to see an Alexis Argüello vid like this.

    Great Video, thank you! One of my favorite action boxers. Always smiling. Great punch selection. Downstairs, upstairs, double jabs, hooks, straight rights, excellent footwork. Two thumbs up!

    Johnny Tapia is one of my all TIME favs. Thanks so much for this. His life was beautiful yet so cruel. His demons had demons

    The whole story with his Dad is unreal. Murdered before he was born, then someone else claimed to be his Dad, DNA test shows a positive match. After his death his widow discovers his half brother swapped the DNA so he wasnt actually his Dad.

    No matter how tough things got in the ring, he could survive it, because all he ever knew was tough!!

    Thanks for the comments everyone, and yeah I will do an Arguello one another very interesting character!

    A legend. His fight with Romero is a favourite of mine, and his boxing against Konadu was sublime. He completely shut him down.
