Rubén Olivares Avila (born January 14, 1947) is a Mexican former professional boxer and a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Olivares was a world champion multiple times, and considered by many as the greatest bantamweight champion of all time. He was very popular among Mexicans, many of whom considered him to be Mexico's greatest fighter for a long period. He held the record for the most wins in unified title bouts in bantamweight history, at 6, a feat later surpassed by Naoya Inoue at 7. Olivares has also had both starring and cameo appearances in Mexican movies, and he participated in more than 100 professional bouts.
