Johnny Bratton - Was an American professional boxer in the welterweight (147lb) division. He fought many of the best fighters of his era in the division, earning nearly $400,000 in 83 fights, but ended up penniless and mentally impaired. In the 1980s, Bratton was sleeping in the lobby of Chicago's (formerly magnificent but now seedy) Del Prado Hotel, earning his place by running errands and being personable, but not quite living in the present, always a sidestep away from his old memories. By 1991, he was in a nursing home on Chicago's South Side, in touch with his family and "doing all right", in his own words.

Even though Bratton is remembered for his all-action exciting fights, in his prime he was defensively sound and had great movement so that's what I tried to showcase here.
johnny bratton style is a mixture of sugar ray robinson and ray leonard. he would have given guys like mayweather, pacquiao, roberto duran and ray leonard a tough fight.
Great boxer to watch, slick, stylish and very exciting. Bratton is a joy to watch as is many from that era. Sadly he was badly managed in a time where boxers had no control over their career’s. Such a shame how he ended his life. At least we can be thankful for people like you haNZgod that take the time to load these gems of footage up for us fans to appreciate, many thanks.🥊
Thanks Brett glad you enjoy!
Ray Robinson told Mike Jacobs 'Uncle Mike', "you think I can fight? Well this kid Bratton is something you haven't seen anything like yet."
Johnny was mishandled by his management. His managers were very brave. He was a natural WW His manager matched him against big MW’s. They were greedy. I used to see Johnny near the end of his life begging for money in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. He was also institutionalized in the state home for the mentally ill for quite a while. He was a beautiful man and beautiful boxer. The WW division was so deep with talent in his generation.
I would love to see a movie based on his life, it could be called the man in the purple suit because I heard he was a flashy dresser, and got a lot of hate from people at the time.
I appreciate hearing about him, even in such sad demise. Thank you for sharing what you saw, and what you knew of him.
@@gratitude62 Johnny fought in an era when a loss was not a big deal. Except for the beyond brilliant Ray Robinson who only lost one to a much much bigger LaMotta, all fighters lost a few fights. It was not really until the Mayweather era that a loss was looked at as failure. The media fueled this. The cable and PPV industry wanted someone to showcase. Sadly Mayweather believes his own press and perhaps really believes he was what he likes to call GOAT. That’s ridiculous. Johnny twice fought the father of a childhood friend, Ted Christy. Mr Christy was what was then know as a trial horse. He fought everyone. Johnny had no business in the ring with Tiger Jones, a beast like Gene Fullmer, and Rocky Castellani.
Today Johnny would have been brought along more slowly and his opponents would have been hand picked like Mayweathers were
RIP Johnny
God I am so appreciative of these videos
So beautifully made man, some brilliant defensive movements by the legendary Johnny Bratton. 👍 ✌️
It's hard to believe but Johnny Bratton isn't in the International Boxing Hall of Fame, crazy!
@@user-lx7qw3vv2y Him and Johnny Saxton, yet somehow they induct guys like Chico Corrales and Luis Angel Firpo. A big joke!
beautiful!
good fight with the Cuban hawk
All three of them were good!
Beautiful mover!
he hits like a leopard...hard as f8ck....
Seems like Sugar Ray Robinson.
I thought the same thing . Similar styles .
Sugar Ray without the power tho ... incredible fighter
Johnny had a similar style like Sugar Ray. Beautiful to watch. @@Trueskool90
Suberb
looks like his style is modeled off sugar ray robinson
Nah, they were contemporaries.
Gavilan, Robinson, and Bratton had very similar styles. Would be cool if there were a such thing as a triple threat boxing match: I would have paid hundreds to see those three in the ring together!
No doubt. Hands low, same trunks, great footwork, similar build. The big difference is Robinson was always pumping out his jab.
You should team up with Lee Wylie
I love his content but we do different things, he's great at analytical videos whereas I highlight the fighters.
Jesus how many videos u got

This guy had a poor record of 64-23-3. He lost to most names recognizable today. Many of his wins were against competition with high losses. He got his jaw broken a few times too. He was only a champion for 2 months. This guy is hardly the stuff of champions. He was a B fighter every day of the week. He also spent 8 years in a mental hospital. These are facts no one wants to write about here...
Tell me you know nothing about boxing without telling me you know nothing about boxing. Bratton was an excellent fighter who fought the absolute best of his era without any hesitation, beat some fantastic fighters and had one of the most beautiful styles you'll ever see. Did he lose? Absolutely but so did every fighter from that era because it was highly competitive and they were fighting from month to month. I suggest you watch this video here: ua-cam.com/video/w_i0rYKyqyY/v-deo.htmlsi=p6seB_22hpJ7Fija - It does a great job explaining why people put too much emphasis on BoxRec, please watch it.
