Johnny helped me love this sport. He fought and showed a passion and fire in the ring that you can only dream to live life with. He had to be a fighter even after the gloves were off just to stay upright.

Miss you man and hope you find a calm and peace now that often eluded you Johnny. Go easy champ, be at peace.

it's a big shame but it's far from being a big surprise, Johnny Tapia was a true warrior but he was never able to cope with life out of the ring, may he rest in peace

RIP just when I thought he was OK outside of boxing.

An autopsy is planned, hopefully he didn't OD or off himself, the dude was only 45.

As opposed to what? Being murdered?

I hope he OD'd. Painless.

As opposed to living a longer life, I guess it wasn't in the cards for him.

Sad, sad. A couple times he seemed to get it together than had that last fight and subsequent overdose a few years back where he had family die on the way visiting him. Sucks :/ rip. no mas vida loca I suppose.
