Bratton is one of my favorite fighters. Great counter-puncher, great movement, extremely fast hands, tough as nails. He broke his jaw like 5 times in the ring and still fought on. Exemplifies how deep the lightweight-welter-middleweight era of the 40s and 50s was.
Would've beaten Floyd. Yep.

I've only seen a very little of Bratton on an old VHS that featured the lightweight and welter champions, he says ounds z hell of a boxer.
