    He put him to sleep. I did watch a youtube of Jackson about all his KO's. Check it out.

    I would go with that and SweetPea is correct also in that some of these champs did jump in and out so someone like McCallum is the best choice.

    You know that McCallum stopped Jackson? Norris would not beat McCallum and Hearns vs McCallum would have been fireworks.

    Hearns without a doubt with mccallum a close second, julian jackson has to take the bronze for sure.

    jackson was a badass but probably the reason i don't have him up there is when i saw his fight with norris, norris was outboxing and outclassing this guy and then terry got overconfident and thats when the bomb landed. my guess is if they had a rematch norris might of learned from his mistakes but i might be wrong. i'm also not too sure if i should have him in front of tito or nino but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because of his accomplishments at that weight. no doubt he would of dropped tito, probably multiple times, but he did have a tendency to gas out and tito's the opposite, where he actually gains strength as the fight goes on.

    Where would you guys put Winky had he dominated DLH as i'm sure most of us will agree is what would've happened had they fought around 2004-2005? Or say Forrest would've taken a fight with Winky and also got beat decisively?

    He really laid everything on the line in that fight. I thought it was a very admirable losing effort.

    You're underrating Jackson based on one performance, which wasn't out of the ordinary for him anyway. His power could turn any fight around, and it showed often. Norris usually always made mistakes that I think Jackson would capitalize on, he just didn't have the chin.

    We're talking about who was more accomplished at 154. And imo Vargas did more at 154.

    Winky fought Tito at 160 remember.
