Has any one heard of this fighter or know much about him ?

From what I have read he was around 6 foot, and 200lbs, born around 1876, boxed from 1898 until 1911. He was from accounts a capable African-American fighter strong
he beat Jack Johnson, Joe Goddard andDenver Ed Martin.

Has anyone seen film of him..if it exists ? or read any accounts of him inside the ring..?

Thanks again

Kym

John "Klondike" Haines. Had a 5th round TKO win over Jack Johnson in 1899. Johnson beat him in later fights.

How does he figure him to be better than Holmes?
