    What makeyou ay tha Burns is untalented and not powerfull.

    He is one of the better infighters I have ever seen on film and for his size his power is off the scale!

    I'll still go with the 178 to 183ish Tommy Burns to beat a blown-up Stan Ketchel........ Burns was short, however, he was just as wide.... No fat; all muscle........ I seriously doubt that Ketchel was stronger than Burnsy....... Plus, Ol' Burns had better technique....... Ketchel was a winger who often left himself wide open to counter shots...... Burns was better........

    I do have footage of O brien, saying for most of the contest, he outpointed Ketchel, until Standly caught up to him in the final round.
