Name: Stanley Ketchel Career Record: Click Alias: the Michigan Assassin
Name: Stanley Ketchel Career Record: click Alias: The Michigan Assassin Birth Name: Stanislaus Kiecal Nationality: US American Birthplace: Grand Rapids, MI Born: 1886-09-14 Died: 1910-10-15 Age at Death: 24 Height: 5' 9 Managers: Joe O'Conner, Willus Britt Career Overview One of the real “characters” of boxing, Ketchel was a fearless man whose personality was perfectly reflected by his in-the-ring savagery and dramatic life. The first two-time middleweight champ of the gloved era, he is also considered to be possibly the hardest hitting of all middleweight champions. An unpolished brawler who loved to test an opponent’s will to fight, the “Michigan Assassin” faced four hall of famers during his career, some of history’s best middleweights, light heavyweights, and heavyweights included among them. Nat Fleischer, the late ring historian and founding editor of The Ring magazine, considered Stanley to be the greatest middleweight in history. Early Years Born Stanislaus Kiecal to Polish immigrants in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ketchel was a rough, tough brawler even as a youth. He avoided school, instead falling in with a gang of street kids and often getting into fist fights. At twelve years old, he ran away from home, becoming a child hobo. As a teenager he lived in Butte, Montana, where he found employment first as a hotel bellhop and then as a bouncer. This profession obviously led to many scraps that established his reputation as the best fist fighter in town. Soon enough sixteen-year-old Stanley was performing in backroom boxing matches with older locals for twenty dollars a week. -
