    There is footage of them sparring as older men.

    It is worth watching to get a better insight into their styles as with the Johnson Jeanette footage.

    That's an amazing story, and rather refreshing to hear the human side of the sport once in a while. Boy, I learn something new every day here.

    Thanks McVey....

    Indeed,

    I would very much like to see both of them in action, as I have never seen footage of Sharkey, and very little of Jeffries..
