    I know I saw number 12 somewhere and I want to guess and say ESPN- the old ESPN with All Bernstein.
    I wanna say he fought someone who became pretty famous as a boxer.

    Had to look him up as it was driving me crazy and boy did I get that one wrong. Had never heard of him before.

    Galloway, Guthrie, Rachman, Espadas, Rahilou, Sutherland (who I think was the first ever super middleweight world champion and Mercedes who lost his flyweight world title to Charlie Magri.

    I didn’t really Murray Sutherland held a title. I’ve heard of William Guthrie, Manning Galloway and Khalid Rahilou

    1. First Japanese world champion?
    2. Italian boxer, first ever WBA(?) light fly champ, won the belt on a DQ and never defended it. Got smoked by Betulio Gonzalez and Luis Estaba.
    4. I was thinking this guy unsuccessfully challenged Locche.
    6. Lost to Reggie Johnson and I think Nunn too.
    7. Spaniard, 154-pounder? I think he had a very controversial trilogy with someone (Albarado? de Olveira?) where he won the first fight on a bogus DQ, and then the next two fights were very controversial.
    9. 1970s flyweight, reigned at the same time as Miguel Canto, who was from the same city. Even smaller than Canto physically. Classic fights with Alfonso Lopez and Betulio Gonzalez.
    11. LHW who was like Scottish and Canadian? Fought Saad Muhammad, did commentary on Marvin Johnson vs. Jean-Marie Emebe.
    13. One of the flash-in-the-pan WBC flyweight champions in the 1980s, where like six guys in a row fell on their first defense. I think he won the belt from Freddy Castillo and lost it to...Magri?

    The only ones where I have clear images of them in my head are 2, 6, 9, and 11. 13 I might be confusing with Francisco Quiroz.
