you might be a "student of the sport" but your knowledge is as bad as your grammar meaning you're flunking big time buddy
u mainly showed ignorance 2 this point . dissing Ramirez' record despite having almost every possible big name of his era and d next era on it and ranking some1 who hadn't fought anybody (Ricardo Lopez) ahead of him .

His style was always going to be risky in fights, he kept on coming forward and fought some wars. I'm not seeing anyone better than him in that era. Herrera just didn't go on with it.
Whenever a KD occur , i tend 2 score d whole fight as if it was a single rd in regards of d question of who won .
Also , even when scoring fights RBR , i m not shy of scoring rds as 10-10 and then of d little that i did watch of 1 of their fights , Olivares looked a bit flashier but certainly did not look like beating Castillo .
Olivares was d better of d 3 outside of their fights against each other , but as far as their fights against each other went , he was clearly d worst .
Now take in2 consideration that he was d youngest of d 3 , and he does even worse if ages r hypothetically reversed against him (or even prime vs prime) .
Am i reading this right, if a knockdown occurs you score the whole fight as if it's a single round? Huh? Castillo knocked Olivares down, but he was pummeled for most of the 3rd fight. Olivares is clearly the best bantam of his era, he then fought and won the Featherweight title losing to the great Alexis Arguello, i actually had Olivares ahead at the time of the stoppage.
u r reading this ryte . 2 me ,
RBR scoring was only meant as a measure of deciding d winner in close affairs . But whenever some1 scored a KD and remains upright himself , he had his way in d fight unless (maybe) it is reversed . Think if it was 4 real , or if d times were "Dempsey's" times and d rules were "Dempsey era's" rules . D 1st 1 who went down would have probably had no much hope left .
Also , i repeat , of d little that i'vee watched of Castillo vs Olivares (i believe it was d 3rd) , Castillo was far from pummeled .
Based Xclusively on their per4mances against each other it is :
1. Castillo
2. Herera
3. Olivares
going from best 2 worst .
D only thing that might prevent me from clearly ranking them like this is their per4mances against others than each other .
