Stanley Ketchel vs. Marvin Hagler

Lamotta had a 17lb weight advantage though, If Hatton was fighting say Willie Pep he would probably win, which is comparable. Hatton is faster, closes the gap fast, throws 800 power punches a fight, is very strong at 140 and has always pushed his opponent around even strong men like Tyszu and even FMJ and Collazo at 147. Hatton also has a better body attack and quicker hands. Lamotta has better head movement though

 

Naturally, as you should not believe everything you hear, but what are you actually looking at when you cast your eyes upon a grainy, frame-skipping film of a comparatively poor showing from Ketchel?

For a start, a present boxing coach would divert you from fighting in such a way, but it's about what works for you. Ketchel was simply tenacious and confident enough to make his ropey looking conduct pay dividends. Slap some of that jittery 24 frame film on a Naseem Hamed fight and it's going to prove ugly watching, effectiveness notwithstanding but scrutinized nonetheless.

Hagler was a fantastic fighter, he can most certainly win this one, but then so can Ketchel through his ugly>awkward>effective style.
