    B, What made Ketchel a legend in his LIFETIME ,was an uncanny stamina,mixed with great two handed punching power,and a great ability
    to absorb punishment. As a middleweight he kod the lightheavyweight great
    Phil. Jack O'Brien in 3 rounds in 1909.Ray Robinson for example didn't do as well against Joey Maxim, who was not as good as O'Brien was.
    Years after Ketchels death,O'Brien at a dinner, approached a brother of the late Ketchel,and embraced him, saying "your brother is the greatest fighter I ever saw ". For what it's worth...Cheers B...:good
