		Leading up to the title, and subsequent loss to Gavilan, the Chicago based Bratton entertained the likes of such talents as Joe "Old Bones" Brown, Ike Williams, Eugene "Dummy" Hairston, Holly Mims, Bobby Dykes.
		How about Chalky Wright, Willie Joyce, Danny Kapilow, Sammy Angott, Rocky Castellani, Pierre Langlois, Joe Miceli, Johnny Saxton and Ralph "Tiger" Jones?
		The ever busy schedule against such stellar foes would catch up to the once slick boxer with better than average punching power - and the mix of welter and middleweights would take a heavy toll.
