Saldívar was born in one of the many poor quarters of [[Mexico City]] and is one of seven children.

As a [[Southpaw stance|southpaw]], Vicente Saldívar was a dynamic fighter in the ring. He could box or brawl, and often softened opponents with a brutal body attack. Among his greatest assets was his stamina; he scored seven knockouts after the 7th round. Saldívar had an unusually slow heart and pulse rate, which he claimed was the secret of the phenomenal pace he was able to maintain in the ring.<ref>[http://www.yucatan.com.mx/20110305/nota-4/85820-de-vicente-saldivar-al-canelo-alvarez.htm] {{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soloboxeo.com/2010/02/17/erik-morales-representara-a-vicente-saldivas/ |title=Erik Morales representará a Vicente Saldívar en el cine |publisher=Solo Boxeo |date=2010-02-17 |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref>

Saldívar had a successful amateur career, crowned with a Mexican Golden Gloves title at bantamweight. At seventeen years old, he surprised most by making the 1960 Mexican Olympic team, but lost a very disputed decision to [[Ernst Chervet]] of Switzerland in Rome. Having defeated the best Mexican amateurs, Saldívar turned pro in 1961 at the age of 17.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Vicente_Saldivar |title=Vicente Saldivar - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia |publisher=Boxrec.com |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref>

On September 26, 1964, Saldívar won the WBA and WBC Featherweight titles by upsetting fellow Mexican fighter and future hall of famer [[Sugar Ramos]] with an 11th-round knockout in an extremely bloody battle. His first reign as champion would last three years, in which Saldívar made eight successful title defenses. The reign was highlighted by his trilogy with [[Howard Winstone]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/9072278.stm |title=BBC Sport - Boxing - Howard Winstone v Vicente Saldivar III |publisher=BBC News |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref>

In his first title defense, he defeated future champion [[Raul Rojas]]. On September 7, 1965, he defeated Winstone in their first meeting with a 15-round decision . Following that victory, he defeated Floyd Robertson by second round knock out. He then defeated Mitsunori Seki in two consecutive bouts. On June 15, 1967, Saldívar defeated Winston once again by a 15-round decision. In 1996, Ring magazine included their second meeting on their list of the 100 greatest title fights of all-time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_100_Greatest_Title_Fights_of_All-Time |title=The 100 Greatest Title Fights of All-Time - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia |publisher=Boxrec.com |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref> In the final installment of their trilogy, he defeated Winston by 12th round knock out.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Vicente_Saldivar_vs._Howard_Winstone_(2nd_meeting) |title=Vicente Saldivar vs. Howard Winstone (2nd meeting) - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia |publisher=Boxrec.com |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref> Saldivar announced his retirement after that contest in October 1967. Three months later, Winstone won recognition as [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] featherweight champion, claiming the belt left vacant by Saldivar, by defeating Mitsunori Seki with a 9th-round stoppage due to a cut right eye.

He would fight once more before retiring again in 1971, however, the lure of the ring was too strong. He returned at the age of 30 after 2 years and 3 months of inactivity for another title attempt on October 21, 1973. His opponent was fellow Hall of Famer and former [[bantamweight]] champion [[Éder Jofre]]. Jofre, who was 37, had won the Featherweight crown after coming out of his own retirement (albeit a brief 7 month one). Saldívar's skills had greatly diminished and Jofre won the contest with a fourth-round knockout in [[Brazil]]. After the fight, Saldívar retired for good.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maxboxing.com/news/promo-lead/rediscovering-vicente-saldivar |title=Home |publisher=Max Boxing |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Eder_Jofre_vs._Vicente_Saldivar |title=Eder Jofre vs. Vicente Saldivar - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia |publisher=Boxrec.com |date= |accessdate=2012-10-15}}</ref>

Vicente Samuel Saldívar García (May 3, 1943 – July 18, 1985) was a Mexican boxer in the Featherweight division and was a part of the 1960 Mexican Olympic team.[2] He was a former WBC and a two-time WBA Featherweight Champion.[3] Saldivar has frequently been ranked amongst the greatest in the history of that division by many noted boxing historians and critics.[4] Vicente fought in front of the fourth largest crowd ever, 90,000 in Estadio Azteca, and has also regularly been cited as one of the finest left-handed fighters of all time.[5]

Childhood

Saldívar was born in one of the many poor quarters of Mexico City and is one of seven children. He used to get in fights on the streets and in school, so his father decided to channel the misguided energy into boxing.[6] Like many other Mexicans his father was a big boxing fan, so it was a logical move. Vicente was taught by Jose Moreno,[7] a veteran trainer of a nearby Mexico City boxing gym.[8]

Fighting style

As a southpaw, Vicente Saldívar was a dynamic fighter in the ring. He could box or brawl, and often softened opponents with a brutal body attack. Among his greatest assets was his stamina; he scored seven knockouts after the 7th round. Saldívar had an unusually slow heart and pulse rate, which he claimed was the secret of the phenomenal pace he was able to maintain in the ring.[9][10]

Amateur career

Saldívar had a successful amateur career, crowned with a Mexican Golden Gloves title at bantamweight. At seventeen years old, he surprised most by making the 1960 Mexican Olympic team, but lost a very disputed decision to Ernst Chervet of Switzerland in Rome. Having defeated the best Mexican amateurs, Saldívar turned pro in 1961 at the age of 17.[11]

Professional career

Saldívar turned pro in 1961 and won the Mexican featherweight title with a second-round knockout of Juan Ramírez on February 8, 1964. His first major victory came on June 1 of that same year when he defeated future lightweight champion and hall of fame member Ismael Laguna. Before challenging for a world title, he accumulated a record of 25–1, with his sole loss coming via a contested disqualification, which he later avenged by knock out.

WBC & WBA Featherweight Championships

On September 26, 1964, Saldívar won the WBA and WBC Featherweight titles by upsetting fellow Mexican fighter and future hall of famer Sugar Ramos with an 11th-round knockout in an extremely bloody battle. His first reign as champion would last three years, in which Saldívar made eight successful title defenses. The reign was highlighted by his trilogy with Howard Winstone.[12]

In his first title defense, he defeated future champion Raul Rojas. On September 7, 1965, he defeated Winstone in their first meeting with a 15-round decision . Following that victory, he defeated Floyd Robertson by second round knock out. He then defeated Mitsunori Seki in two consecutive bouts. On June 15, 1967, Saldívar defeated Winston once again by a 15-round decision. In 1996, Ring magazine included their second meeting on their list of the 100 greatest title fights of all-time.[13] In the final installment of their trilogy, he defeated Winston by 12th round knock out.[14] Saldivar announced his retirement after that contest in October 1967. Three months later, Winstone won recognition as WBC featherweight champion, claiming the belt left vacant by Saldivar, by defeating Mitsunori Seki with a 9th-round stoppage due to a cut right eye.

Return to the ring

After 21 months of inactivity, Saldívar returned to the ring on July 18, 1969 and won a 10-round unanimous decision over another former as well as future Featherweight champion, José Legra. Then on May 9, 1970, he regained the featherweight title with a 15-round unanimous decision over Johnny Famechon. This reign, however, was short-lived. Saldívar lost the crown seven months later in his first defense against Kuniaki Shibata.

Retirement & comeback

He would fight once more before retiring again in 1971, however, the lure of the ring was too strong. He returned at the age of 30 after 2 years and 3 months of inactivity for another title attempt on October 21, 1973. His opponent was fellow Hall of Famer and former bantamweight champion Éder Jofre. Jofre, who was 37, had won the Featherweight crown after coming out of his own retirement (albeit a brief 7 month one). Saldívar's skills had greatly diminished and Jofre won the contest with a fourth-round knockout in Brazil. After the fight, Saldívar retired for good.[15][16]
