    He's in the running for best of the bunch. To sort it out, you'd need a time machine to give him and Langford some common opponents. Hard to tell with someone not really on film like Langford, but damn, if you dig through old writings about him, they're ridiculous. Heavyweights saying that nobody hit them like Langford.

    It's also worth pointing out that his KO power seemed to be equal in both hands. Not sure exactly where I'd rank him, but he'd be way up there. Biggest puncher I've seen since I've been following the sport, which goes back to the mid-80s or so.

    He's top 10 P4P you'd have to think. You could reasonably debate him anywhere to #1.

    Listen, I knew a guy who was hit by him and we grew up together. He was a bright kid, fast learner, great memory, excellent problem-solving skills, good with numbers, a rhetorical genius. Now? He sits at home half the night and watches MSNBC. That's a true story. Jackson is the only thing his doctors can assume is the cause.

    Jackson had huge power at LM and very high at middle. He was a pretty ordinary fight apart from his power. Not hard to hit not particularly fast or smart boxing .He could also be hurt by punchs. Fast fighters with decent power would have chance with him . This added to the thrill of watching him fight

    I like Julian Jackson's statement: "Anything Mike Tyson can do, I can do it."

    Any list of all time one shot KO punchers I would think his name is on that list, probably close to the top.

    Anyone who sits around watching endless political news -- whether it be MSBNC, FOX, whatever -- is doing themselves no favor. It's all about anger and the presentation of one-sided versions of everything (together with a good amount of misinformation). Can't stand it.

    I care about issues, but I don't care what [insert random jackass talking head on some network] thinks about what [insert random politician] said.
