    Jackson looks awesome on this study and his KO over Graham is one of the greatest knockouts of all-time also, were his offensive skills and hand speed underrated?

    He was very precise, unlike the more bludgeoning "Mini Foreman" style we saw with Mugabi for example. His punches were like electric shocks, whereas Mugabi's were like hammers.

    Thought I was losing my mind lol. But Jackson's ko of both fighters were devastating. When Jackson landed clean he just short circuited his opponents, they fell like they were struck by lightning.

    Yes..Graham was outboxing and manhandling Jackson...making him appear slow..but Jackson was a master at playing possum..and was one of the best at setting traps for guys outboxing him...a very unusual skill....yes he did have underrated hamd speed too...there are very few lucky punches in boxing in my humble opinion...and jackson had a very very dangerous boxing IQ....do many times he was being supposedly outsped and outboxed and he ended it with 1 punch...Norris, Graham and Cardamone spring to mind

    He timed a defensive Norris just right.

    Against Graham, Heroj was beating the tar out of a nearly defenseless
    Jackson and came forward with hiis hands down and got caught. That seemed somewhat a lucky punch. Not so in the Norris situation.

    BTW how can we take you seriously if you can't differentiate between the right handed Norris and the left handed Graham. Lol.

    Check out his fight with Wayne Powell. Powell goes down like he was shot! Also, check out the Buster Drayton KO. Buster goes straight back and down and to make matters worse, Julian is motioning him down with a cocky gesture while Buster was still in transit.

    I don’t think he was playing possum. I think Norris’ eyesight was shot by this fight, detached retinas IIRC. He couldn’t see Bomber Graham’s punches coming.

    But he did set a trap. When he can’t really see your opponent well and he’s moving around, what to do? Terry backed into a corner and made Graham come to him ... there’d be no doubt where his target was because now it’s right in front of him.

    Timmm-bbbberrrrrrrr. One shot. Lights out.

    I added the KO about Graham, Norris was mentioned time and against on this study and he was one of my favourite fighters of the 90`s.

    Yes Saintpat I had forgotten somewhat how bad Julian Jacksons eyes were at this time....it was an absolutely shocking defeat...in retrospect I wonder...and it opens a can of worms...on the 1 hand herol graham came so close to winning in all 5 of his fights vs kalambay(2),mccallum,jackson,brewer...they were all very close...but he lost due to some odd occurence

    Some of those video's are quite good, some they just make it up as they go along.

    Julian “ The Hawk “ Jackson is rightfully deemed by many as one of the greatest punchers of all time. Of the man had a chin to match his punch he’d be the greatest fighter period
