    some of my fave boxers over the years have not necessarily been the best...

    but have embodied what boxing should be about

    guts, respect, courage, skill....something i cannot find a word for, but where my hairs stand on end, and u know ur watching someone special

    tapia did that for me...

    as did kirkland laing, my fave boxer

    what is happening with tapia at the moment?

    i think he is going to continue to fight in new mexico, very entertaining fighter, who i feel could be considered great.

    imagine johnny meeting ricardo lopez when lopez was moving up in weight.
