      He does swipe at his glove, but I couldn't tell if he was knocking teeth off, as the story goes, or just clearing away dirt he picked up from the knockdown. I do mention it later as being one of the claims around the fight.

    I’ve been reading about Ketchel for over 65 years. He was a wild man with wild swinging punches. To me hard to tell his place in MW history as more scientific fighters emerged but certainly an all time great who probably had not reached his peak.

    • @Thelategreatjohnnybratton
      @Thelategreatjohnnybratton Před 2 měsíci

      @justthink5854 yes It’s really too bad no films of Greb in a fight exist, at least none have been found. I found it interesting reading Adam Pollocks so far two part, a third is soon released, bio of Dempsey. By far the most detailed comprehensive bio of Dempsey and lots of information and newspaper reports on Greb including opinions by fans and reporters. I think I learned more about Greb reading the Dempsey bio than the bios I have read about Greb. Pollock uses newspaper reports from all over the world and since Greb and Dempsey were contemporaries lots of opinions of Greb and his fighting style are included. A great read for real boxing fans.

    I don't agree at all with Nigel Short when he said if Morphy played against Carlsen today, he'd get thrashed. We all know and is mentioned in this video and the prior episode, that Paul Morphy never studied chess, never reviewed games, never read a chess book. He did not have to do it because he was a prodigy with a natural talent. Having that in mind, if Morphy were alive today, if given time, he would not waste it studying new theory. He'd spend this time beating Magnus in a jiffy.

    • @adamgwhitaker
      @adamgwhitaker Před 2 měsíci

      It's an interesting question to think about. I think Short was generally saying what Fischer said. That Morphy would have to spend time getting caught up on advancements in the game since he played and it would be a different story.
