I purposely left out the name of any fighter who held a belt at another weigh (Tunney, Walker, Greb or Charles could debatebly have fit in at 175). If I made this list again in an hour, everything could be different. But for the sake of conversation, here are a smattering of fighters I like.

Do you know if any footage of Gutierrez exists, scartissue?

 

Possibly against Alberto Sandoval, but that would be a very jaded, washed up Gutierrez fight.
