    There is not too much variety among spanish last names, so they are refered to, a lot, by their nicknames. There is literally millions of guys named Carlos Hernandez in hispanic countries.

    There should have been quotes around Morocho, that was a nickname. He was one of the hardest bangers of his day. Let alone being one of the few guys to stop Paolo Rosi (not on cuts), Bunny Grant, Teo Cruz, Kenny Lane, Alfredo Urbina, as well as Joe Brown, Percy Hayles, Davey Moore and Baby Vasquez. Not to mention being one of the few select who dropped Jose Napoles, Nicolino Loche and Eddie Perkins.

    It hurts me that Eddie Perkins ends up on such a list!

    Manning Galloway and William Guthrie. No clue who the rest are. I know I remember seeing a fight with Guty Espadas but I can't say I actually "remember" him. I know it was a highlight ko loss though

    I know Rachman because his name was for maybe almost 10 years in the straweight ratings as a top 10, but I only watched his fights way later, back in 2004 or 05 you couldn´t find fights online so easily of guys like him fighting in Asia.

    I think number #7 got a disputed decison against Buchanan.
    Loved number #5 and enjoyed his fights that at one time were on youtube. Southpaw spoiler who had an insane long career and broke the heart of English fans when he outboxed Barrett.
    Number 10 was a jr.welterweight champion based out of France who got spanked by sharmba Mitchell.
    Number #6 was pretty big in the amateur ranks and had a pretty good pedigree that he failed to live up to in the pros. Reggie Johnson I believe starched him.
    Number 4 I believe was a power puncher who fought Cervantes.
    Number 9 had a son who was a pretty good pro-think he beat Bones Adams.
    Number 11 was a very tough Scotsman who fought a whos who of punchers. Think he fought Spinks not once but TWICE. Hearns also come to mind.
    Number 14 was often avoided and supposedly-according to him- he beat Napoles but did not get the decison although he became Jr.welterweight champion for a short time.

    Number 15 I think suffered some type of injury to his jaw in World War 1 and I think he was a featherweight.I believe he was French.

    I did this all from memory let me know how I did.
