Beau Jack is one of the all time greats. They don't make fighters like him anymore. Only real boxing fans and well seasoned fighters even know who he is.

in the sense that he was a hard man and an agressor, one can argue that "they don't make fighters like him any longer. certainly not in the capacity that they used to.

but to say that he'd be impervious to harm against a modern LW is wrong. i'd pick floyd mayweather and pernell whitaker to beat him on points without much fuss.

and duran would stretch him out with something similar to the stuff williams put on him.


where do i rank him?

somewhere in the top 100-50 i'd reckon. i have not worked out my p4p list much beyond 10.

Yeah, which I just don't understand. Just look at the guys he's fought and in the most talent rich era of lightweight. Maybe due to lack of footage.

Who cares what modern fighter would beat him? I'd pick Jones over Greb but that means jackshyt. I'd pick Whitaker over Duran and most lightweights, probably all of them to be honest so that's not really anything detracting from Jack's abilities.

i was responding to a post that stated: "they don't make fighters like him any more."

while stylistically he may be a throwback, his quality wasn't so great that he'd be in a league beyond the two fighters mentioned, mayweather jr and whitaker. fighters of his quality are still made.
