Write one paragraph about these guys.

True, but she still doesn't stiffle my willy-waggle with rigor mortis or whatever the **** happens to it when I see that picture of the Klitschko's.

Ruben Olivares was arguably the hardest hitter in the history of the Bantamweight division.

He started off his title reign with a stunning K.O over legendary Bantamweight Lionel Rose. He was also the only fighter to stop Alan Rudkin in a World title fight.

Whilst Olivares' partying lifestyle caused him to have some inconsistent patches (notably at 126lbs and in his two losses to Rafael Herrera) he made amends by lifting titles at Featherweight, where he demonstrated his boxing ability; in his loss to the young Alexis Arguello, Olivares demonstrates his ability to move around his opponent and land countering hooks to great effect.

In short, Olivares could've conceivably amassed a more aesthetically pleasing resume; but for those who have seen him fight (particularly at his Bantamweight peak) there can be no doubt he was one of the most formidable fighting machines in the history of eight-stone-six Warriors, a massive recognition considering the depth in class that division posseses historically.


Good enough? Or not enough info? Am I wrong in saying the first Herrera loss was down to Olivares partying? I don't believe to have seen it. I'm hoenstly more well versed in his featherweight tenure and the early stages of his reign at Bantam; McGrain is well versed in Olivares, maybe he could help you out Addie :good

 

Seeing Olivares's name brings a smile. Did a brief interview with him at a bar in L.A., through an interpreter.

He was raising a few with friends, 'n looked more like a super middleweight, enjoying what he was deprived of during his fighting years.

His hair was still black 'n full and spiky-straight and his Indian features were even more pronounced when he smiled, which he did easily and often, revealing a gleaming gold frame for his right front tooth.

Q: Ruben, tell me about your two losses to Rafael Herrera.

RO: The first time Rafael took the title away from me, I had trouble making weight, and the second time, he just beat me, fair and square.

Q: After your first loss to Bobby Chacon, what did you learn that allowed you to win the next two?

RO: Good preparation, because we went 15 rounds in those days. I studied Bobby Chacon's tapes. All three fights were very tough. Bobby Chacon is very brave...

Q: You're one of the hardest punchers that's ever stepped in the ring, how'd he manage to take those?

RO: Chacon hit very hard also...He was very, very BRAVE...

'n he seemed to be struggling for an even STRONGER word. I volunteered, "cahones," and he rocked back with laughter, nodding his agreement. "YOU SPEAK MY LANGUAGE!" he said, slapping me on the shoulder.
