    :deal

    That man was scary. Think of How hard it is to be great in boxing, with a strict, very clean lifestyle, let alone how hard it would be addicted to things that destroy your body.

    It's sad but amazing still, how good he was while doing that ****.

    No i disagree.. He only loss twice in his prime to Paulie Ayala. The first one could have gone either way and Tapia definitely won deserved the second fight, but both time they gave it to Ayala.

    I think Tapia would probably win this one, also had one of the best chins ive seen. Tapia by close decision.
