Such a humble heart Johnny had! My husband knew Johnny really well and he was a great guy! So sad his life was cut short such talent he had! RIP Johnny!! Great tribute song Darren Cordova!!!
I don't know bout anybody else but Johnny was always down to earth cool with me since the 1st time I met him. He always made me feel like he knew me for a long time, I met him at work unlimited back in the day he was a janitor there I was going to that school to get my GED, I also seen him at bobs burgers on 4th st the old Bob's n he instantly remembered me I miss that guy God rest his soul!
I met Johnny when we were amateur boxers. Got to know him when we were at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a fun kid to be around and a great boxer. Seen him in many great amateur bouts in Albuquerque, Taos, Santa Fe and Colorado Springs. RIP Johnny.
Darren, that such a beautiful song. We all miss Jhonny Tapia. That song reminded me of all the people we have lost in our lives. Thank you Darren for that song and the memories we have.
There will never be an equal to Johnny; he loved people and it showed; consequently, people loved him! He always made time to speak to people. I and many, many others will never forget the great Johnny Tapia. God rest his soul.

To the greatest boxer who walked this earth!! Johnny you hold a special place in my heart! Thank you for being such a loving person to me! Youll be deeply missed!!
What a beautiful tribute to Johnny Tapia and what a beautiful relationship/friendship you had with him. The song made me cry even though I am half Hispanic and did not understand all the words. I would like to get the English translation as I too have a hard past and mom issues. I never met Johnny but always loved how he treated people, came across on the news or interviews and of course his amazing fights. You are an amazing singer!!! Can't wait for the next tribute you do.
+Bethany Rose yes he was i seen him fight twice and i live in Santa Rosa,NM he stopped here at the Route 66 Cafe and it was funny he had alot fans here from town we actually were slow that day and jus had like 2 local coffee drinkers and once he walked in the cafe with in 10 minutes the whole cafe was jam packed with local people but Johnny took like 2 hrs to sign and autograph something for every single person plus he took pictures with whom asked him, the whole parkin lot had like 150 vehicles - or more in it they were parked every which way, ya know Bethany he may be gone but he will never be forgotten RIP JT
Rip my good friend the weirdest thing May 27th 2012 I've been thinking about you God bless you you were the greatest always and always made me laugh I was raised by my grandparents also and have the biggest heart I am very sorry sometimes it's hard to know your surroundings you were a very good friend to me always recognize me and said hello teenagers to adults rest in peace Johnny
Q-Vole CHAMP! You put NM on the Map in the boxing world. When I was in the Military overseas, I would through on some of your fights and I felt like I was back in the 505 even just for a moment Gracias. Rest In Peace CHAMP!! My deepest condolences to your Familia!! You said it best it's not how many times you fall but how you get up!
I met tapia back in 96 my best friend Carlos Hernandez went 12 rounds with johnny and lost a 12 round majority decision me and Carlos fought that nite and unfortunately neither one of us won we were just 2 homeboys who pawned some valubles to get plane tickets to go fight with dreams of being champions after the fight johnny told Carlos he was one tuff fighter my friend with a 16-4 record fighting an undeafeted champion of 30 some fights said he gonna be champion one day and as we took some shots of patron Johnny favorite told me keep your gaurd up no matter what champion are born not made that was one of my best nites of my life we were from COACHELLA CALIFAS. ARRIBA ALBUQUERQUE New Mexico team tapia Danny Romero the little bitch.
Johnny wasn't a alcoholic and didn't have a problem with alcohol! His down fall and problem was cocaine, but no matter how hard his fight with the drug was he was the most down to earth and humblest guy you could ever meet! I knew him personally and he never let his fame of being a professional boxer get to his head and being puffed up with so much pride!!!
What was your relationship with Johnny? RIP to one of the greatest of all time!, Johnny "Mi Vida Loca" Tapia. I didn't know him personally but I miss him. Watched all his fights.
I cant believe all the negative comments on Johnny Tapia, hasnt your parents taught you if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all? Opps i forgot you dont have any morals or class. MY BAD ! Regardless if Johnny was a druggie or not its really none of your business he hasnt hurt or harmed you, he has alot more fans than you will ever have. And this is in answering to so many rude remarks about him. He was a human HE HAD RED BLOOD jus like all of us, he was a "CHAMP" AND THAT MEANS champs arent discriminated THEY COME IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE. People with skeletons who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones..... Doing drugs is not the answer but its a choice he took ~ AS for the Tribute to him from Mr Darren Cordova TE EXTRANO MAMA ,WAS WRITTEN specially for Johnny bout growin up without a mom,,,, etc Johnny had more than 1 fan he had millions all around the world so im sure the few that arent a fan its not gonna make a difference. God Bless Johnny and his family his legacy will live on FOREVER ! RIP JT & THANK YOU DARREN CORDOVA FOR BEING A GREAT AND SINCERE NEW MEXICO ARTIST WITH COMPASSION AND LOVE FOR ALL OF US.
I never knew he passed .Sorry to hear that .My Aunt long ago before she died knew him.. I wonder if this buliding with his moms picture was close towards Old town .If so they had donated to all young boxers.
