    When Jackson hit you, you may have started in the virgin islands but your head ended up in Jamaica.

    Jackson's knockouts were even more conclusive than my favorite Thomas Hearns. Tommy usually punched guys 25 times before he knocked them out with the exception of Shuler. Shuler was like a Julian Jackson knockout. But Julian Jackson's film footage is just incredible. Norris,Graham, Drayton. just to name a few.

    For me, what stands out is that for all Jacksons concussive power, he punched pretty damn short. Imagine him throwing a shot from South Louisiana. It would break through damn walls.

    Mclellan was more explosive, and threw wider and longer shots.

    Jacksons power was truly special. It's weird that in a historically rich sport where people love the hard hitters that there is this much consensus.

    The real question is: are you a fan of kitty the werewolf?

    G-man sometimes gassed out a bit and started relying on single bombs late in the game to do the job.

    But yeah, the stamina statement I made is kind of pointless.

    Maybe it was the shortness/timing/technique of him that did the job.
    In the end the hardest punches are the ones you don't see coming and the shorter the punch is the harder it is to see it coming.

    This is one of the stupidest and most misinformed threads I've ever seen.

    I had no idea he was a weight cutter.

    That settles it...however if he wasn't there's no one in history that punches harder than Gerald P4P, probably with the exception of Joe Louis.

    If he wasn't? He was. It's fact. Dude was basically a Cruiserweight. Watch him against Mugabi and compare the size of their frames. Not their muscles or bulk, but their frames. Shoulder width, length, etc.
