    Two super big hitters, but get overshadowed by the "top dogs"
    in the overall historical rankings at MW.

    Fight at 15 rounds...if it goes that long.

    Who wins?

    I love Jackson, he's one of my top 10 all time favorite fighters... but Valdez takes him apart and knocks him out. Power aside, Valdez was better than Julian at virtually everything else, and was a murderous puncher in his own right.

    Valdez KO 6.

    Great match up Longhhorn! Valdez slaughters JJ...he was a vastly superior fighter.

    Well, Jackson wasn't at his best at middleweight for starters, and nuclear power doesn't count for much when you're fighting someone who's a murderous punches them-self and whom also has decidedly more skill and creativity in getting those home run punches home.

    The Colombian by round 6. Jackson does have the proverbial punchers chance but not much else in my opinion.
