    Julian Jackson's ability to put people to sleep was like no other and he did it on a regular basis with one shot. What other boxers in history where able to knock guys out with one punch on a consistent basis?

    Hearns was pretty lethal at welter but I think Jackson had more one punch KO`s and Graham and Norris were far better than any of Tommy`s KO victims, aside from Duran and Cuevas, however neither of those fighters were sparked with one punch.

    Shavers was devastating and I`d say Wilder`s power may be as lethal a Jackson`s was P4P, but Jackson set his KO`s up better than both of those fighters.

    Bob Foster and Khaosai Galaxy. Both were very hard, deadly punchers in their respective weight classes who have had scary one punch KOs.

    Lemieux is an insane banger.

    Think he’s p4p the hardest hitter in boxing history. He had some insane raw power

    I think Edwin Rosario deserves a shout. He was pretty much the Julian Jackson of the lightweight division IMO. Harder puncher than even LW Duran, Arguello, Ike Williams, or Edwin Valero.

    Jackson has always reminded me of Bob Foster. They both had a similar way about them. They both had good boxing ability, particularly the jab, and they would almost always take their prey out early with an awesomely timed punch. I would say they were very close in their own divisions.

    Eh I wouldn't count Shavers in this, not denying he hit hard but nearly everyone who talks about how hard he hit actually beat him, also there's only one video of him knocking someone out with one punch.

    I know both of these but would be lying if I said I've looked deep into their fights. I do plan on watching Galaxy as I've heard he was a devastating puncher and he comes from a Muay Thai background which I love.

    No, he hurt Camacho but Jackson would have slept Camacho with one shot and no way could Chavez have came forwards v Jackson like that and survived and I`m not talking about Julio`s size, any fighter coming forwards v Jackson would have to take him out pretty early they certainly couldn`t go 11 rounds going toe to toe at 154.

    I think that was more down to Shavers lack of skill than his power, he could nevder have knocked out a figter as quick as Norris and fought like a drunk v Holmes after having him out cold, no way could a fighter have survived v Jackson after being hurt like that and McCallum stated that Jackson had the quickest hands he ever faced.

    Yes and hurt McCallum badly, there`s no way McCaallum could have gone 11 rounds v Jackson he had to get him out early, Jackson`s hands were quick as hell in that fight, McCallum`s reflexes were on point in that bout but he was in bad trouble.

    Cuevas for a stretch was murdering guys... Carlos Zarate was coldcocking people his entire pre-comeback career.
