Benn Jackson Hearns But Jackson and Hearns were quite far better KO ‘artists’ in terms of accuracy, timing and (though Nigel was fast) speed. Benn was a leverage bomber who could send you head over heels if he hit your forehead or probably guard, wobble you to the nose or top of the head etc. He wasn’t settings things up or using traps. Jackson was striking right on the point of the jaw where all the nerve endings were, with a quick stiff punch that came from nowhere. Orthodox right hooks etc. (Benn threw more right hooks but they were swings). Hearns and that right hand was something. Straight to the target! More finesse than the gifted Nigel. But natural raw power as a natural middleweight it’s Benn

Benn and Jackson were the perfect finishers, however Hearns sparked Shuler with one shot and Jackson finished Graham with one shot, Benn never finished a top 10 contender with one shot.
