Reports are coming out of New Mexico that the former Champ was found dead at his home!

RIP Tapia. I always remember his fight with MAB who knocked him out. I don't think he belInge in the HOF. If he was HOF good, he would of put up a better fight against MAB.

Barerra didn't KO Tapia. That fight was 4 weight classes higher than when Tapia was dominating. His 2 losses to Ayala were the only losses in his true weight class. The other 3 were after he was done.Diego408 wrote:RIP Tapia. I always remember his fight with MAB who knocked him out. I don't think he belInge in the HOF.

5 time NM Golden Gloves Champ

He dominated 115-118 for ten years.....was super entertaining, and brought life to the lower weight classes....I'd vote for him!!!dmar5143 wrote:a very entertaining fighter.hof..he surely merits a strong look.

He fought in 2011. He's never been eligible because he keeps fighting.
