    It would be close to impossible to overrate Jackson for sheer power. His absurd power was/is undeniable.

    Elite victories are the only "acceptable" ones then?

    If you stand by the term that's great but it reads terribly, just so you know.

    yeah because Tommy liked to brawl and go for the knockout instead of waiting for it at times.

    The Graham/Jackson bout will live long in my memory.

    Bomber was mugging Jackson; had him injured to the point of Jackson facing a stoppage loss. Then Graham made his mistake; staying well in range, with his guard down and his head high, for a Jackson counter. Jackson's instincts as a fighter, combined with game-changing power had him come away with a title.

    The punch and its effect are, to this day, a chillingly memorable set of images. Graham was out instantly; before he started falling, let alone hitting the canvas.

    One thing I can say about Julian Jackson is he was one of the hardest punchers I have seen. He ko'd guys & they looked like they were shot with a shotgun. Great punchers sometimes rely on there power & forget about setting up the power but Jackson was pretty good overall. An opponent with a great chin sometimes neutralizes a puncher. Jackson is up there on my list as a pure 2 fisted puncher

    When Mike McCallum names you as the hardest hitter he fought, it's pretty hard to overrate that guys punching power.

    Julian power was scary. Punching power comes from body torque particular hooks and upper cuts. When a fighter misses a punch you can take a peak at their power. U can see how far Jackson is turning into his punches when he misses and has to realign.
