Still Fighting
Life has never been easy for boxer Johnny Tapia. Bouts of depression and conflicts outside the ring inspired the maxim "Mi Vida Loca" ("My Crazy Life"), which was emblazoned on his boxing trunks. When REAL SPORTS last spoke with Tapia, he was recovering from the coma that followed his confrontation with Arizona police in January 2003. Despite his troubles, he continued to find comfort within the confines of the ring, where his fiery, brawling style made him a fan favorite. Today, that comfort is a distant memory.

Correspondent James Brown revisits this troubled former world champ.
