Julian Jackson vs Hurricane Carter

Jackson

 

Jackson..most likely gets there first.

 

Jackson was a very aggresive fighter, I admire that, shows balls of steel, but can spell doom against a monstrous hitter like Jackson, Armstrong was the overall better fighter of the two and I wouldnt count him out, but Damn, Jackson might be the worst possible opponent for him.

 

Armstrong?

 

I see Jackson winning here.I see him striking out early and Carter being hurt and floored .Before the 6 th in my opinion

 

Whoops lol. Still jackson by k.o. though

 

Jackson. Over Ron Lipton's objection.

 

Smoke if a tip top Carter shows up do you still have Jackson strait up or is it more of a who lands first? I value your opinion

 

I really think of it as more of a who lands first. Certainly, it could go the other way and Carter could catch Jackson first. I just really like and respect Jackson, and give him the slight nod. For several years almost all the top fighters avoided Jackson and waited until he got older and lost a step. His fight with the much bigger, stronger, younger Gerald McClellan was still a great battle and passing of the torch.

 

I didn't know guys were avoiding Jackson glad for pointing that out to me. Sometimes my following of the sport shouldnt have been what it was.Thanks for answering. I always appreciate your insite.

 

Jackson murders the murderer.

 

Cheers, brother. Yes, many fighters avoided the Hawk. Hopkins, Jones, and James Toney all held belts around the same time as Jackson. As did his old nemesis, Mike McCallum. Jackson had improved from the days of his loss to The Body Snatcher, and Julian wanted a chance at redemption. It is a pity the rematch was never made. Jackson also called out James Toney numerous times on national television, and I never heard a peep out of Toney. (And we all know how much James enjoys talking trash). Jones didn't stay long at middleweight, and, I think he would be too good, too fast, for Jackson. But, I think a prime Hawk would have stopped the version of Bernard from the early 90s. To Bernard's credit, he improved as a fighter, and I definitely pick him over Jackson peak vs peak. But, in the early 90s, Jackson might have given him more than he could handle.

 

Smoke I appreciate the reply. I honestly had no idea the Hawk that avoided at that time. Thanks for the info brother much appreciated !!!

Now, that is what I call a stacked deck of good fighters. Only Gerald McClelllan was willing to step up and risk fighting the murderous punching Hawk. ( And, that was after Jackson was starting to age, and had his second retinal surgery)
