Its already been done. ESPN Classic has a synched version of the fight. They have shown it before and it occasionally pops up in documentaries. It would be easier to just wait until they air it again.
Only problem -- the "synch" jobs done by ESPN are horrible -- often not matching the action.
As far as film footage of Joe Jeanette.
I read where at leat of his his bouts with Jack Johnson was filmed(presumably lost).Joe Jeanette also fought about 8 times in one year in Paris around 1909.
There is a photograph from that year of a cinema in Paris with a 3 sheet poster of Joe Jeanette outside,but cant tell waht its for.
Also Joe Jeanette did a FILMED recreation of the Jeffries-Johnson fight shortly afterward(Jeaneete played Johnson of course).
The three sheet poster of Joe Jeanette that appeared outside a cinema in Paris France in 1910,that I mentioned I saw,appears in the book
FIGHT PICTURES
by Dan Strieble.
The three sheet poster you refer to is actually misidentified in the book. It is a poster of Sam McVey. That being said it does not advertise an actual fight. It appears as a backdrop for a film featuring a fictionlized black boxer named Sam Tapford, whose name is a play on Sam Langford, and whose appearence is supposed to mirror McVey. The three sheet of McVey is supposed to be Tapford and the poster just behind Tapford advertises a "Sam Tapford" fight. Hence, these arent actual film posters of an actual event, they are merely props for the film.
is this still going
