"Mi Vida Loca" Johnny Tapia

[AtSkiy1987]

Funniest boxer ever, I think.

[BrainisinPanic]

can some 1 remember fight where Johnny pulled down his enemy shorts?that was a very funny fight i only can remember that he win it and the enemy was like e mexican

[kalizhadainc]

this was one bad dude, but his story was a tragic one, I enjoyed his ring tenacity the last of the old school brawlers.

[MrTAPIA20]

puto pinche TAPIA

[noskoollikeoldskool]

what weight did he fight in?

[MrBumboclart]

@noskoollikeoldskool jr. bantam, bantam and then featherweight

[BODYBOARDERS101]

whats the first song

[carpetburn23]

The reason mexicans did not recognize De La Hoya as a great champion, is because Del La Hoya kicked mexican fighter Chavez ass bad...

[MrBumboclart]

@carpetburn23 And that he never fought in the street-fighter, never back down, slugfest Mexican way.

[dnlgberry]

Fucks with the circus music?

[toptrichs]

BIGGGGG thumbs up..FROM.IRELAND,, BELFAST

[pinfold1000]

HBO Home boys only johnny you are one of the best

[ThEbEaTaLiEn]

this song sucks, 505 all day, JT u the MaN !!

[SkullControl]

Now how many people really know Johnny and his first alias of "Baby Faced Assassin"? Changed to "Mi VIda Loca" right before his fight with fellow boxing champion Danny Romero. Although he had previously dropped the alias, he just could not "shake" the nick name.

Thank you for sharing. Great boxer and a hero of mine .

[jagjerry43]

Johnny is a good friend a mine & one hell of a GREAT PERSON. He always mentions Albuquerque & the 505. He is a real friend to the bone. I remember when we use to chill together in High School & after we got a little older. We always had a fantastic time no matter what we were doing,. Vato I always have your back !!!! Your friend Always - Jerry  Griego de Burqe

[kevindlinc]

Fuckin' rights Johnny Tapia was a star, I made sure to watch him fight. his fights were always exciting and who does'nt like a boxer ,puncher with skill and balls?

[trentwaaa]

@kevindlinc ....right on man!!!! ....i fuckin sure do....!!! long live the sweet science and all the mexican bangers , past and present!!!....

[H1TMA]

This guy was pretty good, he may have even given Justin Bieber a run for his money. Not many know this, but Bieber actually put his boxing career on hold to start a music career, what with absolutely no competition...

[parchex]

@chalo1376 Personally I don't like that genre of music, but you have to repect others apeals. I wonder what music you like " ignorante".

[blackelk7373]

@blubottle This video is to pay respect to Tapia and you have the nerve to mention his drug abuse. He could be on his death bed and out fight your fuckin ass. So who are you? Mr. perfect? You never made a mistake? Lets pretend you were great at something. While you were getting recognition someone showed up to point out your mistakes. There comes a time you need to shut your mouth and show respect. We all make mistakes.

[blubottle]

@blackelk7373 I have mucho respect for Johnny Tapia! He was one of the best! I'd watch his interviews in ESPN and seem he was a good and genuine person..Its just that his life was full of demons and unfortunately for him one of em was coca... And me perfect?! Dude I used and abused also... I know withdrawals! I know where tapia is coming from.. Read my comment and think before you open your yap!

[2shame80]

respect tapia toronto kevon bishop. before i go big my heros growing up



[ado10011]

A true legend, all heart. No wonder Barrera wore his name as a tribute.

[Nikenighty]

@ado10011 true

[damage915]

@ado10011 No bro Barrera's second last name is Tapia. But I would wear Tapia's name as a tribute to one of the greatest fighters of all time and my favorite fighter ever to lace them up..

[SurMonstro]

As a youngster easily one of my favorite fighters. The fight with Pauly Ayala was classic. What's the name of the first song the Mariachi one?

[nandete55]

[620sur213]

[MrOGJMoney]

his fights r some of the most interesting ones to watch because he doesnt just throw one or two punches at a time he throws some sick combos

[moguie1229]

thats my uncles nigga his fights are so sick!!!!!!

[crv26]

@moguie1229 ?

[ricamafioso1973]

johnny wouldn even be competive at his prime with chavez or pacman but he was a good fighter. nothing against him

[headkick806]

my uncle faught him and beat him!! but jhonny is the badest most tuffest boxer i ever meet and seen fight!!

[firemen562909]

[brownkid211]

[MrYayo87]

He represented my city to the fullest burque 505 all day

[saintsviahawaii]

J Tap, unreal heart and balls. Johnny, read you bio and it made me respect you more. Go easy

[miguelmurillo4864]

WHO WOULD WINN J TAPIA OR M PACMAN

[natrix49er]

damm dude, good one...i'd have to go with pac, based on their fights with barerra...but tapia in his prime...shoot, itd be an all out war...

[MrSurelysure]

@miguelmurillo4864 Only Tapia would win. And he is one of those who defeated himself. Sad but true. Regards

[ryanrama21]

i like this guy!

[p4pjb]

Miguelmurillo Tapia was a featherweight not welter, he is due to make a comeback at 140 lbs this year..

[p4pjb]

salvihustlin, he is fighting Cuauhtemoc "el famosito" Gomez he was a Mexican journeyman.

[jasonvorhees16]

Como se llama el tema en ingles-What s is the name of secon theme in inglish.

[salvihustlin13]

who was he fighting at 2:43

[miguelmurillo4864]

@salvihustlin13 THE name of the guy that johnny tapia was fighting was Naseem Hamed

[jdjmoreno]

El siempre peleo al estilo mexicano. Nunca hacia atras siempre hacia adelante hechando golpes. De La Hoya nunca peleo de esa manera, por eso los mexicanos nunca lo reconocimos como un gran campeon. La primera vez que peleo asi, perdio contra el de Pomona: Sugar Shane Mosley.

[jesusiyoboxeadr]

banda tropical - mi pueblo querido

[MrAlexandro55]

gracias compa es que no encontraba la cancion

[MrAlexandro55]

como se llama la primera cancion

[xtacosxkebabx]

[nica025]

great fighter

[lamuneca248]

JOHNNY TAPIA ALWAYZ SAYZ..."I LOVE U ALBUQUERQUE..OR....I LOVE U GRAMPO"...HE IZ FROM NEW MEXICO..ESE jOHNNY tAPIA...

[ogacihc90]

I love how he could be getting hit in the face with 5 hard ass punches but at the same keep waving his hands around for the crowd to start cheering. Lol, he was so energetic in the ring it seemed he was on coke while he fought. Really great boxer and entertainer over all though.

[miguelmurillo4864]

hell yeah he is one of the best chicano boxers in welter weight hstory 5 time world champion.........he had the reflexes the speed but what fucked him up was the coke during his ages

[blackbloodvomitorium]

looks to have a very good technique, just seems to lack the power.

[jesusiyoboxeadr]

¿ como se llama la segunda cancion??

[boston312]

A true boxing legend and crowd entertainer. I always thought he was a bit underhyped coming from Alberquerque. His name would have been much bigger if he came out of NY or LA.

[bb62g]

Tapia was always fun to watch.

[OscarJMarroquin]

SPEED KILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Johnny in his prime had plenty along with excellent pedigree.

[XPECTRON]

Tapia you got the touch

[aMoment0fSilence]

wats the second song

[P4PBEST]

one of the best lil man ever in boxing his personality overshadow his boxing skills but if u look past his intense personality ull c he was a very skilled fighter

[alkaolik09]

El video es muy bueno pero la música no es la mejor. No me imagino un video de Castillejos con un chotis o una bulería de fondo. Sería inapropiado ¿No?

[MrGallodesinaloa]

Ajuuuuuuuuuuuuuua....Que gran video...Mi vida Loca...Great Song!!!!!!

[OscarJMarroquin]

what a fucking warrior. i luv this guy no one had more huevos q este cabron. Se te quiere Johny Tapia. y fuiste una inspiracion para mi. QUE VIVA MI VIDA LOCA. Y ARRIBA MEXICO

[miguelmurillo4864]

[OscarJMarroquin]

[tijuanacerca]

muy buen boxeador lastima ke por nunca tener asus padres pudo enfrentarse ala vido como lo isi arriba de un ring!!!!!!

[slikkrik]

Johnny Tapia was the man in the ring, very exciting, confidant and just fun to watch. To bad he has drug issues. Does anyone know the first song played?

[avalino79]

[inglewoodhood]

[dope12345678910]

my coach tells me that i look exactly like him i guess i take pride in that.

[helgi111]

you shouldn't he's ugly as hell

[Erdei26]

There is no one realer than Tapia...He was an amazing boxer but a much more charakter.... I read his book and it touched me real hard....

Johnny you are a real hero .....I always like to read the last sentences of your book...

[LaiskaKettu]

what is the last sentence?

something inspirational i presume.

[hEyLeeeBoP]

Dood this guy is my cuzin! I have never met him... YET but I really want to! He lives in New Mexico soo it's kinda hard top see him when he is pretty far away!

[budfr]

This dude was a badass!!! always going forward, like a macho. A great Mexican-american. Too bad he has drug problems.

[undesputedpounder]

tapia i always liked his style yes he talks alot but he brings it and and goes toe 2 toe like a real fighter

[frnki07]

hey badddlucc, who have you fought that gives you the right to ask??

[calibox65]

johnny , antonio escalante was in las cruces nm. today and said he will fight u in ur next fight and knock u out in 2 rounds

[tntsugarherbosa]

in his prime he would destroy him in 2 seconds, or maybe humillate him all over the fight

[badddluccc87]

Who did he fight AND BEAT that was good.

[calibox65]

johnny tapia is a great fighter and a greater person. theres a boxer out of el paso antonio escalante that said he beat the shit out of johnny. does anybody know this clown a.escalante??

[calibox65]

?????

[calibox65]

hey johnny can u help escalante pay his rent i heard hes selling burritos at a shipping company.he s begging 4 sponsers. he really messed up.the guy s so full of shit

[ronoman88]

An extremely gifted fighter. The grit, heart, style of a classic Mexican Pugilist.

[budarobinson]

[byggarn]

I am reading his book at the moment how can you not admire this guy. Ony of my favorite fighters!

[cepeglenn]

ahh..ok tanx...did he fougth barera?

[Fj3]

yup, he lost to barrera.

[thugsouljaa]

awesome fighter and one of the funniest characters in boxing ever. but why they put him in with barrera when he was way past his best is beyond me

[Doderhultarn89]

music sucks

[cepeglenn]

what is the record of tapia when retire?

[fuGuiCaPoNe]

won 56 (KO 28) + lost 5 (KO 1) + drawn 2 = 63

[acomitapita]

Johnny Tapia will always be NM's hero. One of the best fighters Albuquerque has ever produced. Regardless of what he did, he will always be admired.

[Huntingyou2]

What did he do? what happened to him?

[acomitapita]

he just has had his own personal battles with drugs etc. nearly killed him.

[gotsminez]

Jonny was an addict and that is true.But he did take his mistakes,and help the youth.I will always admire this warrior.

[mfreezie]

he was on tweak most of his fights.that explains his busrt of energy in later rounds

[mnfan22]

heroin is what he struggles with

[Duran290]

Cool vidieo. Horrible Mexican circus music.

[rileyjj123456]

Johnny Tapia = one of great attacking fighters ever.

He would have beaten manny quite comfortably with his non stop aggression

[aztecasurenoporvida]

whats the name of the first song??? viva mexico culeros

[kobuang]

oops..sorry i meant johnny tapia, not paulie...paulie ayala would never own manny...tapia, you're one of the greatest!

[kobuang]

it would have been great if manny pacquiao had fought during his time..paulie's got handspeed and power like manny..it would have been a great fight. and paulie is very entertaining!

[freddiemedina]

This guy beat Paulie Ayala twice and got robbed both times. Johnny Tapia was the baddest small fighter in the planet.

[why1242]

I Agree with that and Naz skip out on a fight with Tapia that he could won a title again but Marco whip him badly so that why Naz left fast!

[COOLARROW77]

I personaly know Johnny and not only is he a legend, he is one of the most Down to earth guys that you will ever meet! Johnny will give the shirt off his back for you.

[sharkane321]

one of the caracters of boxing ..a legend

[pelonxsoldier28]
