The dream card

[Master]

In my mind, any dream card would include Ketchel vs Greb at 160, and Chavez vs Duran at 140. Probably Benny Leonard and Whitaker at 135.

I gotta say I on my list of fighters I just don't "get" is Stanley Ketchell. I've read just about everything there is on him and he is claimed to be a savage whirling dervish, and yet the best footage of him I can find, the fourth Papke fight, shows a disinterested, slow, sluggish guy. I know it's only one fight but...

You must have seen the clip where he knocks down Jack Johnson, that is the equivalent of Martinez knocking down Haye.

Yeah except I'm persuaded those two were doing buisness in that fight and Ketchell broke the agreement.

I am sure the agreement did not include Stanley knocking down the heavyweight champ, which is why Johnson ended it brutally with Ketchell teeth lodged in Jack's gloves.

LOL. I just finished reading the Killings of Stanley Ketchell and while it is a novel, the take the author puts on how Lil Arthur explains to Ketchell the difference between a heavy and a middle is hysterical.
