    Old school heavyweight fight. Two guys who would have been world champions fighting in different eras. 50-50 imo but I'd lean slightly towards Folley. Thoughts?

    At what distance? Jeannette was a"Marathon Man"who excelled over longer fights.

    Probably Jeannette, who is very underrated. He was a very good fighter in a great/very deep era. Fought anyone and everyone. Good enough to be competitive with Johnson before Joe hit his prime, had wins over guys like Langford and McVey, and a whole host of top guys.
