    This one should split people down the middle.

    It's tough because Leonard is obviously the technician with the speed, smarts, arsenal, and he's not such a pushover himself.

    Ketchel has the power, conditioning, and toughness in spades...

    I could see it going either way (like 99% of the fantasy fights I chime in on), as I'm not sure Leonard could do much, or should I say has a very small chance of doing anything, to deter Ketchel, and we all know he'd never stop coming, never stop hammering.

    I could see it coming down to a stoppage or decision win by Stan because of sheer erosion.

    I also could see Leonard picking him apart, beating him to the punch, and slipping or blocking Ketchel's attacks that he would find both easy to see coming and predictable. He would begin to time Ketchel, hurting him with accurate, well-timed shots, and turn up the power once it was time.

    I could see a decision by Leonard in this case...

    Stan is the man in this one, he may be made to look a c**t a few times, but once he connects ,and connect he will ,it is ," good night sweet heart ", for Ray Charles Leonard.

    If you can beat Leonard and Hearns you can beat Ketchel, people act like Leonard is made of glass at MW, he's still tough as nails to fight with Hagler

    it's not that leonard is made of glass, it's that ketchel's punch is diamond

    I think Leonard beat Hagler ,but it wasnt by much, and he doesn't beat a prime Hagler, Hearns was not a great middle, neither was Leonard ,imo, Ketchel was.
