Ruben Olivares
There was a long stretch where Ruben Olivares was considered far and away Mexico’s greatest fighter. In the eyes of this man, though, he is still the greatest bantamweight in history.
Olivares holds notable wins over Bobby Chacon and Jose Luis Ramirez, and like the man who supplanted him at the top in Mexico, he is a national celebrity. His best known defeat came in a fight that he was leading against Alexis Arguello.
