Julian Jackson vs Floyd Mayweather

Well, that's one way of looking at it.

Another is that Jackson's big right just missed Graham's exposed chin by a hair throughout the fight (listen to the British commentators noting this very thing), until it no longer did.

Graham was too open not to be tagged by Jackson eventually. His one shot at victory was to stop Jackson first, and since he wasn't at a puncher at MW this would have to be a cuts kind of stoppage. Despite that those don't happen, he couldn't win even when he had caused a cut and a closed eye. So I don't think he would win in many other cases either. It would probably be a Khan-Canelo most of the time.

And herein lies the danger for Floyd. Even a defensive master with an iron chin like McCallum quickly realized he had to get Jackson out of there quickly or he'd be iced himself. I don't think Floyd has the power at 154 to KO Jackson, so he really has to hope his defense holds up for 12 rds. One good shot by Jackson and it's quite likely curtains for Floyd.

 

I think I go with Bokaj on this one John. I believe Mike realised he had to get the Hawk out of there quickly because his power wouldn't diminish that much as the fight progressed.

This is the reason I give Mayweather less than no chance. No way can he go a whole 12 rounds without getting tagged, ( even though I believe he is probably the best defencsve fighter since Whittaker) and as sure as eggs are eggs, Mayweather NEVER faced anyone who could hit like Jackson.

As for Mayweather having the power to bother Julian, sorry folks but that is also a no no.

 

He says as much himself:

Jackson by KO it makes no difference how good the defense of Mayweather is.
Jackson just need one right , he will land a right , a brutal right who destroys everything where it lands.
Jackson is the hardest P4P Puncher in History of Boxing.

Mayweather never met anything similar to Jacksons Power.

 

I was just about to say he said so himself but Bojak is on it. Ironically i read the article today before rewatching the fight. It's still a very interesting way to go about things. Obviously McCallum has confidence in his own defense, chin and power.

 

McCallum could've also just been glorifying things in hindsight. I wouldn't expect him to lose Jackson if he let it go on either.

So now McCallum is a braggart? A more humble, honest, down to earth fighter you would struggle to meet.

 

If you took boxer's post-fight comments literally, you'd believe that the guy who sparked them out didn't hit hard and the guy who they beat up did.

All depends on the boxer doing the talking. If it is an egotistical, big mouthed Murican, ( or someone like Naseem Hamed ) then yes, you are right. In the case of McCallum you couldn't be further from the reality.

 

What fight were you watching? Jackson didn't come close to touching Graham before he eventually did.

 

But, on the other hand, it was only mid way through the fourth round of a 12 round fight. And Graham reacted as if he had been shot in the head with a high powered rifle. Therefore it stands to reason that a lesser punch by the hard punching Jackson could have still laid Graham out for the count of ten. (He was down for several minutes recovering from the knockout punch that did land). No way Jackson wasn't going to land something clean on Graham at some point.

 

Watching it again, Jackson wasn't quite as close as I thought, but Graham's habit of pulling his head back was a very dangerous way to go about things against a puncher like Jackson.

You can hear the commentator talking about the risk Graham took by pulling his head back like that. Twice in the third round and then also right after the KO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNv389vQU2o

"Graham put his chin in a place where it should not be. He did it once too often and Jackson caught him. All through the fight he put his chin a whisker away from Jackson's counter punch."

 

Judah had him down briefly.

 

Don't think it has anything to do with hatred, You look at Mayweathers career and if your honest with self you see he has picked his challengers well.(got to give him credit for that). Their isn't 1 fighter he's fought since Corrales that there wasn't some serious questions about BEFORE he got in the ring with them Esp at welterweight. Mayweather's best fighting weight was at 130. Jackson was dynamic at 154. Outside of Hearns and Mugabi possibly the hardest punching Jr.Middle in history.How does Maywather survive against a taller stronger, maybe just a tad slower but miles ahead in punching power natural jr middle? Who would absolutely not fear anything coming from Mayweather? Be real he wouldn't survive. But Maywather being his custom wouldn't get in the ring with such a dangerous opponent anyway. So a mute point.
