    Many fighters throughout history have had great power.

    For example, Hearns had a few 1-punch knockouts, but I don't think any of us can deny that he was to a fair degree an accumulation puncher. He would wear his opponents down with body shots etc and them KO them brutally.

    On the other hand, Jackson could end it whenever he wanted with one shot. And it didn't matter how much wearing down he had done to his opponent up to that point. His 1-punch KO power is unmatched in my opinion.

    The great punchers of the past (Hearns, Shavers, Foreman, Saddler etc) all have a few 1-punch KOs, but Jackson's record is basically made up of them.

    The only other fighter in history who stands a chance of claiming the title of best 1-punch KO artist is perhaps Louis.

    The replay at 1.44 is particularly noteworthy. As Jackson is all but releasing a high punch his opponent ducks and Jackson fires the punch lower than he was going to, still catching the top of the head and dropping him.

    If Jackson's not first, he's damn close.

    If not, he was certainly the most badass celebrator of his one punch knockouts.

    Julian Jackson was the best.

    That little turd Hamed wasn't too bad either.

    He benefits from having most of his fights filmed. No doubt one of the best KO artists though.
