    Jackson has the harder 1 punch power without a freaking doubt. Who had better punching technique? I have no idea...What do you all think.

    Oooooo....that's a close one....i'm going to go with Jackson, but as far as I can see there is only a shade in it.

    I think Trinidad edges in technique in left hook vs left hook. I'm referring to early fights for Tito at 154lbs (he looked his best when he was at 151lbs)

    I think that Jackson gets Tito on the right hook he just had better mechanics/footwork with the right hook.

    What about straight right cross vs straight right cross technique? Trinidad's had pin point accuracy and was very quick. How about Jacksons?

    How about jab vs jab?..

    Trinidad didn't really have much uppercuts to his game.


    How about 1 + 2? Combo?
    What about 1 + 2 followed with a left hook?
    Right cross followed by left hook?

    Julian threw short, compact punches and rarely ever got careless in his delivery, whereas Tito I have seen on numerous occasions get a little wild and reckless once he smelled blood. Julian`s punching technique was textbook and he threw those short, powerful and compact punches to both head and body beautifully.

    Jackson gets my vote.

    I'd have to say trinidad overall. He had trouble cutting of the ring with movers, but he rarely ever got reckless. Jackson had a beautiful right cross and takes the edge in that dept. I think he did fight a little sloppy against G-man and probably would've had a better chance of winning if he threw more compact punches.

    Tito might have had a slight edge in technique, but Jackson was definitely a bigger puncher and would have flatten Tito in his prime IMO.

    julian jackson had less of a chin than trinidad and a bigger punch, but to say Jackson has better technique is a bit off. I remember seeing Jackson miss big with the hooks, it just looked ugly, but ive seen Tito do the same. Jackson better puncher.

    Wow that's a tough question, I'd probably lean slightly towards Jackson but it's pretty freaking close.

    If Jackson had a chin, he would have been the best middleweight ever IMO (SRR excepted).

    It would have enabled him just to walk people down and deliver those massive bombs.

    Regarding Jackson's losses to McClellan. I have always thought Jackson was clearly the better technical fighter than McClellan, I just felt he was past his prime by that stage and past his best weight, facing someone who could take his best shots when he couldn't do the same(as G-Man was a viscious puncher himself).

    He just faced another bruiser with great power who could take his shots better than he could vice-versa. I disagree entirely with those who claim the very flawed McClellan was better technically, as he'd often leave himself wide open and off balance after throwing straight rightss, and was always open defensively, while Jackson was much tighter. That's one of the reasons I laugh off G-Man's chances against a prime Roy, as I figure he'd be countered silly.

    People say G-Man was more technically sound than Jackson?

    I don't see how. Jackson had pretty underrated skills IMO.

    I agree that Jackson is undervalued skillswise.
