    So

    You're judging a fighters punching power by how it felt to be hit in the hands by them during a light training workout, rather than by the results of actual boxing matches?

    Genius

    Lol @ simpleton. Half of your thinking is based on triangle theories!

    Great chin>Great punch

    Jackson would start fast but get beaten up in the 2nd half of the fight

    Collins all day long .Jackson could hit but was mainly light middle Collins was a big middle weight supper middle who could fight and and was hard as nails.would brawl Jackson to defeat in about 7-9 rounds would be great to watch though.😁

    In comparison to you, and the quacking minge? Yeah, all day long.

    So name the fighter who had Collins in ANY kind of trouble, and you think a natural Light Middle Jackson is gonna trouble him?:roll::roll:

    Sounds about right for you.

    Collins was absolutely huge for middleweight. And when at super-middle he started lifting weights! He made Benn look like a little boy in those fights.

    Be interesting to know what Collins weighed by fight time in the Benn fights.

    I never said Collins couldn't take punishment. I was responding to your claim, that a vast majority of people on here, not just me, believe - that Jackson hit harder than Benn at 160. Benn carried his power up from 154, as a string of one punch kos in middleweight title defenses, clearly show.

    Take Jackson's power and you are left with a very normal fighter .his power would not be able to stop Collins to strong better boxer boiled down light heavyweight vs blown up light middle Collins lost to mc callium and kalumby on points both of those guys are in a different class to jackson

    Have you discovered a different Benn? One who fought at 154.

    Benn only had 9 fights at 160 or below, and was stopped twice. The rest were above the Middleweight limit.

    Jackson had 26 fights above 154 and was stopped 4 times.

    The only common denominator was McClellan who was 5 lbs heavier for Benn than he was when he destroyed Jackson, twice.

    Make of that what you like, I couldn't care less tbh.

    Also if you think Jackson could possibly stop Collins, feel free. Again I couldn't care less. Personally I'd back Collins to break Jackson down both mentally and physically inside 8 rounds.
