    Was Julian Jackson's amazing amount of knockouts from his raw power or from a combination of power and accuracy? Cause though he did hit hard I think there's a big difference between the hardest hitter and the best knockout artist.

    His KO percentage had nothing to do with his power. It was more about his charm and sense of humor.

    He had great punch technique and good timing. Though raw power of corse accounts.

    Power, hanspeed, accuracy, and timing. He was a decent boxer which he used to set up his knockouts.

    Well if he'd have being a feather fist he probably wouldn't have got as many kos, so yes I believe it was his power that helped him..

    I think it was from the after shave he wore.

    It was from his haughty stare.

    Yes Mark, I think it might have had something to do with his raw power.

    Unusual once-in-a-generation power, decent handspeed, good anticipation, good technique, timing, leverage, balance, calmness in the pocket to see his opportunities... If Earnie Shavers had Jackson's skills he would've won have knocked out damn near everyone!

    He certainly would finished Holmes after flooring him.
