Joe Jeannette was only knocked out for the count, once in over 150 fights and that was by Sam Langford.
"Louis would have beaten Langford, I consider that Joe Jeannette was a better man than
Langford. I boxed both of them, and Jeannette was much the cleverer boxer, as well as a
stronger, sturdier fighter, a good puncher and a much better scrapper."
"Yes, a Jeannette-Louis fight would have been a real nice fight, with Jeannette having the edge
in my opinion." Jack Johnson
