    Ketchel on points.

    There is no way these guys can stop peak versions of one another. Ketchel gets it on harder punching and LaMotta's ***** moments.

    Was Ketchel known to be ultra durable or just super powerful?

    Ketchel by tko. He was Nat Fleischer's #1 middleweight. Lamotta was nowhere to be found.

    Ketchel was just as rugged and a harder puncher. He was powerful enough to put Jack Johnson on his ass. I think he would end up busting up Lamotta and tko him. It would be a tough fight, though.
