My top 10 worst heavyweight champions of all time

Stanley would have absolutely destroyed Tommy. Tommy would have been outclassed badly. Tommy would have brawled with Stanley and gotten flattened.

Compare there common opponents and you will laugh: Stanley Ketchell did much better.

 

I love the way Jack Twin Sullivan beat Tommy Burns, but Stanley Ketchel knocked Twin Sullivan dead as a door knob.

 

Perhaps if we captured Stanley Ketchel's best fights on film, you would see the deadly fast tiger like fighter in his prime.

Ketchel hit much harder than burns, was a much better finisher, and was faster. Burns loved to brawl, and Ketchel would have flattened him early and effectively. He may have knocked burns unconsious.

Ketchel KO 2 Burns

 

I love the way Ketchel flattened Johnson with one punch, hurting johnson badly...while Tommy Burns best punches made Johnson laugh out loud. Proves Ketchel hit so much harder than Burns.

Ketchel also knocked out Jack O Brien in 3 rounds, while Burns couldn't put him down in 40 rounds.

Ketchel flattened Hugo Kelly in 3 rounds, while Burns couldn't put him down in 40 rounds

Ketchel was a big league above Burns as a puncher, and a fighter.

 

Im happy for Burns sake and perhaps your sake too that Burns never took on ketchel. Ketchel might have been thrown in prison for manslaughter.

 

Lets compare common opponents between burns and ketchel shall we?
