Papke was known as the "Conquerer of Ketchel" beating the unstoppable once. The story was that just after they shook hands before fight started, Ketchel and the Ref turned away, and Papke slugged Ketchel in the back of the head. Many thought this was the only reason Papke won. Ketchel won rematch.

Nelson and Wolgast met a few times. In one, Nelson was beaten so bad the Ref hold him if he did not defend himself the Ref would call the fight. In the next round, Nelson jumped out of his corner, ran across the ring, and set a fighting stance. Unfortunately, Nelson had set his stance infront of the ring post, not Wolgast. Ref stopped fight.
