If Jackson as we knew him, existed in the 1940s, would he have been one of the middleweights of Murderer Row alongside Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Holman Williams, Herbert "Cocoa Kid" Lewis Hardwick, Jack Chase, Eddie Booker, Aaron Wade, and Bert Lytell.
The Black Murderer's Row consisted of fighters who were tough, very skillful boxers and hard to beat. Jackson was a one dimensional power puncher who didn't have the best chin. He would not qualify. Had he fought in that era I don't think he would be the kind of fighter that the champs would be fearful of given Jackson's limited boxing ability.
On one hand you would say yeah he would be, but then when you consider Murderer's Row was really a Murderer's row of very high skillset, durability, guys that were literally avoided unless there was no choice but to fight.................guys that really couldn't get shots at the brightest stars; that wasn't Jackson. Huge puncher, honestly probably p4p the hardest hitter ever but he wasn't really a guy that people wanted no smoke from because he was limited.
I mean if someone like Flortentino Fernandez made waves and scored the occasional upset, why wouldn't Jackson? This content is protected
Well first off, he would have been a Middleweight cum Light-Heavyweight back then, so if he still kept denting chins the way he can & did, among some tried & tested 1930s & 1940s Top & Noted men, well sure, why wouldn't he, but who are, say another 10 Top Men, as well as the Row themselves, he would have had to face? it's a fair question.
