Wonder what the forums general consensus is of of now about the man. Was he a great fighter, or is one of those boxers who's career is a question mark because of an almost complete absence of film?
I believe, judging off stories I have heard of Ketchel, that he IS an ATG. Probably could have done more if it wasn't for his unfortunate early death. He fought the top guys in his time, brutal fights with Papke, and was fearless, fighting Langford and even moving up to fight the legendary Jack Johnson (the fight he is probably most remembered for) I dont know what anyone else thinks, but he is for sure one of the top middleweights ever and arguably the hardest hitting middleweight of all time.
I think he was essentialy done when he was killed, he had a sexual disease,and was on the opium pipe. Top ten middle because of his power,imo
