Diego Corrales lived hard and died young, tragic

but noone lives harder than Johnny Tapia and the man still lives

he must have someone praying very hard for him

Either that or he's on house arrest which limits his living hard to about 1200 feet of living space...course...one could overdose living in a gotdam card board box, right?

As much bad luck he had early on his life, it's no wonder he has had a bit of luck. Both were such likable guys, both had demons and both seemed to compensate for them in the choices they made inside the ring and out. Absolute tragedy that Corrales isn't here. He was always a fighter I hoped I could meet. Tapia is much the same, in a very different way. Sadly when I think Tapia I don't think his bouts with Ayala, I think of what he has done outside of the ring. I hope he gets right and this was the final wake up call for him.
