Here is a fighter that I haven't seen rated yet, This guy always seemed to capture my imagination , probably just the name. I went to the library and did research as much as I could. Drew lots of resources from Jack Johnson's words on him and his description as an opponent. Though Johnson had a dismissive quality of almost all his oppenents. I am not able to figure out the format that everyone is putting the rated fighters in . Hopefully I'll figure it out. So I apologize for the long hand.
John "Klondike" Haines. (Have seen it spelled Haynes as well)
most people just called him
Klondike.
Born. ? my best guess is 1876 from Jack Johnsons desription of age.
Died ?
1898-1909 22-12-4 (12) fought Jack Johnson several times as well as Frank Childs All had ties to Texas. Fought other good fighters seemed to be sort of an effective trial horse for the times.
Especially for the other Good Black fighters.
