Dude this is a very late response but do you have any other Ketchel pictures to upload? I asked a question on it today but got no response. He's one of my all-time favourites and I'd love to see any more pics you have on the Michigan Assassin. Thanks!!

 

i have quite a few i'll post them mid way through next week im off away from the internet for a few days.

 

Pictures of a demi-god of his time...Stanley Ketchel was considered in his day the greatest offensive middleweight of all-time...Until their dying day
the great sports writers and trainers who saw Ketchel fight, aside from 2 film clips against a 35 pound heavier Jack Johnson, and the clip of Ketchel's last bout against Billy Papke in 1909,when Stanley damaged a hand but still won a 20 rd fight, proclaimed him the greatest ever...After all they saw him flatten the great 10 pound heavier Phil Jack O'Brien TWICE, both bouts ending with O'Brien out COLD...The Ketchel they saw ko 49 fighters was a far cry from the Michigan Assassin shown on film, when he was addicted to cocaine and drink, thus forcing him to try to recuperate at the home of a friend in Conway, Missouri, where he was shot and killed by a Walter Dipley
in 1910 at the young age of 24...A tough hombre was Mr. Ketchel...
