Then who is the greatest? And please dont say Julio Cesar Chavez or Finito Lopez, Sanchez's skill was way over theirs even though they too were great Mexican boxers. And yea, the Gomez fight did win Sanchez alot of fans and a huge name in the sport. The guy had people in Asia tuning in to watch his fights! Even alot of Puerto Ricans admired him after he wooped Gomez.
@ogacihc90 Boxing isn't just about skill, in that case, Finito Lopez and Miguel Canto are the greatest, but its also about Accomplishments, and the Mexican fighter who accomplished more in the sport is Chavez, my list goes like this, #1. Julio Cesar Chavez, #2A. Salvador Sanchez, #2B. Ruben Olivares,... Sanchez and Olivares are very VERY CLOSE, MANY PUT Olivares over Sanchez, and i wouldn't argue with that, with that said Sanchez is my favorite Mexican Fighter.
He had a record of 88 wins, 13 losses and 3 draws, with 78 wins by knockout. His knockout winning streaks of 22 and 21 in a row qualify as two of the longest knockout winning streaks in the history of boxing.
what i liked about ruben was his style. he typified the mexican boxing ethos. best or second best isn't important here, what remains important is the image that is left upon the mind of watcher, and when it comes to bantamweights ruben's is indelibly upon mine....reminding me that the trilogy of fights these guys had was a great time to be alive in boxing.
Gomez was a super bantam he was never a bantamweight. Having said that Gomez is the greatest super bantam of all time and Olivares is the greatest bantam of all time.
Gomez?......oh you must mean the guy who got layed the fuck out by the greatest Mexican boxer of all time, Salvador Sanchez and finally kept his big mouth shut?
Salvadore Sanchez in my opinion was the Greatest Mexican boxer of all time. He had it all, great boxer and a very good puncher. mr AmouseNobody doesnt know shit from shit. Mexico has produced some great small fighters.
i agree with you that he was a really good puncher and boxer but his punching power was not one punch ko with either hand like alexis arguello he was more of a break you down and knock you out with pin point acumalated punches
@dicks501 "EL Puas" Olivares esta entre los mejores de todos los tiempos en Mexico y el universo entero.Un Pujil muy completo y una izquierda letal.Mucho coraje y carisma,Olivares les gano a todos los de su generaci{on.Le dio una felpa a Arguello y luego por valentia y coraje cambio metralla y cayo con pundonor.Un supr dotado al que la indiciplina no le hizo mella a su grandeza.
@dicks501 If Sanchez was not tragically killed in an auto accident at a very young age he may have become not only Mexico's greatest fighter but could very well have become one of the greatest fighters of all time world wide.
@xxdonaldqxxx Sanchez already had became one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport by the time he had died. He defended his title 9 times against 3 Hall of Famers (Lopez twice,Gomez, and Nelson) and had also beaten Juan LaPorte and Ruben Castillo who were both very good boxers. That's a pretty damn good resume, and he achieved at the age of 23 yrs old. 1.)Chavez 2.)Sanchez 3.)Lopez 4.)Olivares
lol "Gomez?......oh you must mean the guy who got layed the fuck out by the greatest Mexican boxer of all time, Salvador Sanchez and finally kept his big mouth shut?"
Ruben, one of my all time favorites... he would have been even greater if he had learned not to party so much... Castillo always gave him fits... and yes, Eder Jofre was better than Ruben, and deserves his consensus title as the best bantamweight ever
i love the sweet science and have been admiring its best for some forty years now...and yes hit and not be hit is the art, but even then u can get a bouncing poser --it is a matter styles...and although i appreciate the pursuers more in the mode of margo or pacman, yes i used to admire ali and his bouncing and countering..but an opinion is an opinion, i remember how deadly these little guys were but oh well..cheers
You are stupid you dumb cunt! Not all Mexicans have said that! Have you spoken to all of them? NO! It's your racist comments that make you a hater and a dumb ass bitch!
para mi el mejor fue raul el molinito cruz el le gano a chucho castillo a rafael herrera a ricardo arredondo y a muchos mas olivares nunca quiso pelear con el
Ruben Olivares vive en Nuevo Laredo y tiene un gybnacio de box es promotor de box, es un gran amigo mio y sin duda uno de los grandes boxeadores que a dado mexico. Porque a avido muchos como el y los que vienen en el futuro.
This is, indeed, a classic fight clip. Thanks so much for posting it. Anything of Rock-a-bye Ruben is great to finally see after hearing so much about him all throughout my childhood (he was my dad's favorite). And there's no way in the world Jofre beats an in-shape Olivares. The lil' guy had excellent punching technique, was a skilled boxer, and was very, very tough. Ring Mag rates him and Jofre Nos. 1 and 2 all time. And no, the Mexicans don't know anything of the sort, whitey.
"Posing and bouncing around..."? That's called boxing, son. It's the art of hitting w/out being hit. These two hall-of-famers were both frightful punchers and understood that one wrong move gets you knocked out. Go watch some MMA if you wanna' see idiots who don't know jack about defense and have glass jaws.
Jofre probably could have beaten both of them but, then again Fighting Harada beat him twice so what does that say? All three were excellent with Olivares n Jofre falling into the great category on the basis of their extensive ring accomplishments!
Olivares, el mas grande de todos los tiempos del boxeo mexicano, como boxeador y como ídolo (ni siquiera el "Ratón" Macias le llega)y mucho menos J.C. Chavez
Extraordinario el Puas Olivares. El más carismático peleador mexicano de todos los tiempos, idolo, y un salvaje peleador, que pegaba duro con las dos manos. Uno de los mejores gallos de la historia! Ah y Jesus Pimentel fue mejor que Chucho Castillo.
Olivares fue el mejor pero Castillo no estuvomuy lejos. Olivares gano 2 de 3 entre ellos pero Castillo se anoto el unico nocaut en las 3 peleas, que por cierto fue por cortaduras no fue un nocaut nocaut. Dr todas maneras 2 leyendas del boxeo Mexicano y Latino y yo que soy Puertorriqueno me siento muy orgulloso de ambos.
