Who is the best 118 lbs in all history ?

Ruben Olivares.

Panama Al Brown deserves a mention.

 

The 3 x greatest BWs are Jofre, Olivares and Ortiz.

 

No love for Jeff Chandler in here? Not even on the list?

 

Eder Jofre H2H, Manuel Ortiz achievements wise.

 

My friend, your choices are full of modern boxers and the 118 pound weight class is full of a century or more of top fighters. You've given us good fighters as options but there are too many greats you left off the list.

 

Probably Jofre.

 

Johnny Tapia deserves a shout.

 

Ruben Olivares not in the poll broke my heart. It's him imo, both H2H & ATG.

 

Could not agree more George

 

No Zarate on list

 

Jofre, Olivares ,Harada, and the great Carlos Zarate! This division is so packed I don't think there's a clear answer as to who's the greatest Bantamweight ever and a consensus would be hard to build one way or the other.

 

Agree!

 

Crowcroft, I’ve heard claims that Ruben was actually very overrated and mostly fought forgettable opposition for the entirety of his career, except in the occasions where he lost. What do you respond to this?

(I’m not attacking you or Ruben, this is a genuine question cuz i dont know much about him.)
