How is dominating "a decent champion" grounds for the best win ever in an historically packed weight class? At one point yes, Rose was far more than just decent, and he still gave it all he could in the Olivares bout, but he was damn near a dead man walking with how much weight he had to drain prior. Still showed that he could give a fight, for at least a few rounds, but he wasn't the same fighter who gave Harada a boxing lesson almost two years prior. He was pretty much ideal for Olivares to run through at that stage. Rockabye Ruben was just taking care of business.

Obviously I'm not insinutating that it wasn't a fantastic performance. It was. Ruben was devastating that night, and would've been regardless of who was put in from of him from the looks of things. But it certainly wasn't the best win ever at the weight. One of the best performances, yes.

I know what you mean in there being others possibly better Sweet Pea, but Rose performed brilliantly against Rudkin and Harada, and was always huge.

The nature of the performance makes it a fantastic win in my opinion, although it would seem he must be weight drained, Lionel Rose must be the most intimidating bantamweight ever.

good points mate. Ill be honest all i have seen is Rose vs Harada, another fight i have on DVd and Olivares so i didnt know about the weight draining.

But is it possible Olivares made him look bad that night.

I dont think its the best i think Rose vs Harada is the best win at Bantam
