The more I view Jackson's clips, the more impressed I become with his ability in this regard. Many of his victims may not have been able to rate his power at all, because the lights must have simply gone out when he nailed them. Little Red had such lousy balance, with his lack of speed, slow starting, and needing to get set as he did, that he could get decked quickly at the start of a fight. Two great ironies of his championship run were that he won his title by decisioning David Kotey over 15 rounds in Poison's hometown, and that he remained on his feet throughout both losing efforts against Sal Sanchez, demonstrating an underrated chin through two vicious beatings. (The hook used to promote their first bout was that it might produce a lot of knockdowns, yet none occurred in the 27 combined rounds contested between them. Only Juan Escobar ever dropped Sal.)
