    Problem being Louis didn't win the title until June 1937 !

    During your timescale Haynes lost to Al Ettore and drew with him twice.Drew with Godoy and s****ed a majority dec over Eddie Simms.

    Louis kod Simms in 1 round, Louis also kod Ettore in 5 rds both in1936.:think
    Monster puncher?
    Haynes fought Ettore three times and never floored him.
    Monster puncher ?
    1935 Haynes fought Unknown Winston toe to toe and couldn't floor him, Winston was stopped 19times!

    "In a "sensational 10 rounds" Haynes and Winston "fought each other toe-to-toe all the way" (New York Times"

    1935 Willie Reddish, Louis's sparring partner held him to a draw.
