HIP, NJ. (History in Practice)
Part of a series of personal profiles written by Nat Fleischer, the founding editor of The Ring magazine. A legendary figure in the sport of boxing, Fleischer witnessed many of these historic bouts firsthand and presents here a biography of the American Middleweight champion, "The Michigan Assassin," Stanley Ketchel.
Born in 1886 from a Polish family in Belmont, Michigan, Stanley Ketchel is listed to this day as one of the greatest Middleweight champions of all time. Perhaps best known for his matchups against titans of the era like the Sullivan Twins, Billy Papke, Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Ketchel was a teenaged hobo-turned-champ who often fought outside his own weight class and was never afraid of crossing the color line. His life would tragically be cut short at the age of 24 when he was murdered at a ranch in Conway, Missouri.
This biography contains many photographs, illustrations, and sketches of Ketchel's fights, making it an essential part of boxing historiography.
Originally published in 1946.
