    He may have some videos or statements somewhere. But, I have not found them. Just wondering if anyone ever asked him who he thought was the best he faced.

    You'd think they both would as that's the obvious choice, I'd just be interested to see if that wasn't the case and if so... who it would be

    Kecthell could only throw up, Papke, or Philly Jack ( assuming not Sam ) and Langford more scope with maybe, Walcott, Gans, Wills, Mcvea, etc, but would be interesting.
