Yes, I finally got to meet him last year at the IBHOF weekend. He was as nice of a guy as you could ever meet. Friendly, humble, and was extremely generous with his time talking to fans. On the street, a stranger would have no idea the damage his fists were capable of.
Jackson was a bigger one punch KO artist than Hagler or Bristoe and McCallum said Jackson had faster hands than any fighter he ever fought.
Odds favor The Hawk winning on cuts. If his ungodly power doesn’t dent Vito’s chin, he also isn’t missing him and his power-laden leather might peel off Vito’s entire face.
Vito criminally underated. He went the full 15 rds when Hagler was a wrecking ball. Vito survive's a early JJ onslaught to maul and grind his way bleeding profusely to a pts win.
Vito was tough and underrated, but Jackson was a brutal puncher. He likely stops Antuofermo imo, maybe on cuts or maybe just a ref stoppage around the 10th round with Vito taking too much.
