"WOW folks i've just read some great history of a great fighter of STANLEY KETCHEL of Grand Rapids Michigan.STANLEY KETCHEL was born in 1886 on september 14th of Polish heritage.He left home at the age of 12 and started his career in saloon fights and worked his way up to middleweight division.He weighed just less than 160lbs but he still managed to fight Heavyweights first ever champ "JACK JOHNSON" for the heavyweight title(mad!)

Here is some really really really old and fantasic footage of the fight.By the way this fight was over 20rounds.


You really need to read up on KETCHEL to really understand how fucking hard he was!!!!!He was hard as their come,BELIEVE ME!!!
