Middleweight fight. Both in their prime.

Ketchel was an animal (from the books I have read) and fought guys 40 pounds heavier than him and knocked them out. Leonard's major blip was against Duran, feel that Ketchel at middleweight would have Leonard into submission.

Its been mentioned that Stanley Ketchel was one of the greatest middleweights in boxing history.He even fought Jack Johnson for the Heavyweight title. Leonard would be no match for Ketchel. Ketchel would ko Leonard in 6 rounds.

KETCHEL WOULD KILL HIM.FIGHTS IN THE KETCHEL ERA LASTED UNTIL 1 MAN COULDN'T CONTINUE,WHETHER THAT MEANT 10,20 OR 40 ROUNDS.KETCHEL DIED WHEN HE WAS 24 SO HE HADNT NEARLY REACHED HIS PRIME.LEONARD WOULD HAVE HAD TO PUT ON HIS DURAN 2 CLOWN ACT AGAINST THE MIGHIGAN ASSASSIN FOR PROBABLY 1-2 HOURS NOT JUST 30 MINUTES. IF THE FIGHT WAS BY MODERN RULES LEONARD MIGHT BE ABLE TO RUN AWAY FROM HIM LONG ENOUGH TO EARN A DECISION IN 12 ROUNDS PROVIDED HE HAD THE SAME JUDGES HE HAD IN HIS 2ND HEARNS FIGHT

I knew a man that saw Ketchel fight & he thought Stan was one of the greats, & I never thought that much of Leonard so I'll take Stan in a split decision.

Leonard would move, jab and run his way to a unanimous decision.
