Like I say, Chavez has a respectable claim, as does Sanchez --- but Olivares' stake is as good as theirs (better, for mine), & to use Chavez's popularity as a weapon in determining him the best Mexican fighter ever is flawed thinking.Last edited by Wild Blue Yonda; 12-01-2010, 10:21 PM.

I was lucky enough to see Olivares fight live a few times. He was a true master boxer/puncher. But he didn't always take good care of himself and doesn't rate as high as JCC or Sanchez, IMO. Not sure if JMM won't be ahead of him before he retires as well.

He has a special place because he beat everybody in his prime except a cheating overrated Pernell who still after repeated nutshots could only get a draw.

Its funny that a Pernell's signature win is a fight he didn't even win. Without JCC all of Pernell's best wins are against past there prime fighters like Azumah and splitting with Ramirez.
Pernell has the worst resume of any ATG
