    ............I would rank Jofre and Zarate ahead of Olivares. Ruben was great, but less consistent at the highest levels.

    I think the mystique of not having seen him is part of what sells him, much like Harry Greb and Charley Burley.

    And in Jofre's case, I think he gets a bit oversold from that mystique.

    Out of all the major weight classes, bantam is the hardest to pick a clear all time #1 in IMO.

    Jofre has a claim to the top spot, but IMO so do Manny Ortiz and Panama Al Brown, as much or moreso.
