    1-3, then 12 and 15 don't ring a bell at all.
    - Carlos Hernandez I'm not sure if it's the one I have in mind (And if I'm not mixing things up alltogether), one that competed at 140 division in around Locche and Cervantes time?
    - Carrasco, Perkins, Mercedes and Sutherland I could probably more or less position in terms of the era They fought in and divisions They competed in, but never saw them fight and don't know too much about them.
    - Manning Galloway I saw couple fights of later in his career when He was more of a journeyman. Crafty, but unorthodox fighter who was making for ugly fights - at least then.
    - Guthrie I didn't see fight, but I heard He had some hype behind him before Reggie Johnson knocked him out. Roy Jones Jr. said He was happy to see it since Guthrie was "running his mouth".
    - Guty Espadas I know mainly as father of Guty Espadas Jr.
    - Muhammad Rachman I saw fight couple times, more of a gate-keeper who picked up a belt later in his career.
    - Khalid Rahilous I also saw quite a bit of, good boxer-mover. I think He got a belt off Frankie Randall, then lost it to Sharmba?

    I might've heard Guthrie's name, but then I might be mistaking it for a MMA fighter's name. I've never heard of Galloway, Rachmen, Udell or Rahilou.

    I could tell you varying amounts about Shirai, Bartolo, Carrasco, Espadas, Hernandez, Knight, Mercedes, Perkins and Criqui.

    I actually didn't know Hernandez's middle name. I thought he was just Carlos Hernandez lol, I only clocked I knew full well who he was after you mentioned he was Venezuelan.
