    An overlooked brawl of the 1960's heavyweight division:

    Folley, the fundamentally sound counter-puncher, was drawn into a brawl with the tough Doug Jones due to his early success. Throughout his whole career Folley ran into problems while looking for the "kill", encouraged to do so by the thousands of roaring fans who demanded to see more of him than the usual cautious effort.

    Doug Jones was tough as nails. I have many of his fights and none of them were boring (bar the Terrell fight, understandably so). Too bad he was shopworn at the time he fought Frazier and Chuvalo, especially against Frazier.
