He KOs them all and Mayweather and Martinez also. Mayweather, Martinez, and Canelo would have the best chance to beat him. At 154 he was a great puncher with both hands and only Hearns and Trinidad came near him in two handed power. He scored 15 KOs in a row as jr middleweight and middleweight champion. He destroyed Terry Norris in two rounds. His only loss at 154 was to the great body puncher, Mike McCallum. I think he would KO Kirkand in the first round.
Someone said Vanes could outbox him...? You can't be serious right, even the limited Jackson is LEAGUES, and I mean leagues ahead of Vanes. Vanes gets brutally stopped inside 3 rounds, put it this way if Ouma and Saul Roman hurt and dropped Vanes, just imagine what Julian would do. Now, Lara, who is more skilled with his southpaw awkwardness, would cause him some problems. A fight with him and Kirkland would make Angulo-Kirkland look like child's play. I'd love to see that. I mean, who wouldn't?
he'd stop kirkland, angulo, williams, brutally
angulo has a good / great chin if kirkland hasn't broken it yet. he'd probably stay upright the longest and take the most punishment. he'd need a huge layoff after that fight. keep him away from punchers for at least a year and a half.
literally everybody williams ever fought can put their best leather on him. jackson would totally dust the poor guy
cotto would run for 12 rounds. he's got some tricks but he doesnt have enough of them to avoid literally every punch. i dont think he could even take punches on his gloves for many rounds. eventually they would take their toll.
it's hard to comprehend just how hard jackson hit. we dont have a puncher like him anywhere in boxing. he put absolutely everything into his hard punches. he did have good timing. he wasn't a small guy.
he wouldnt just knock guys down and take their legs, he would send them across the ring. when they went out they were usually out cold. he'd even have time to point them to the ground and send them off
a number of his knockouts are on the tier of martinez - williams, pacquiao - hatton, etc. they just arent against top flight opponents and in big fights. a few of them are.
he might be the hardest puncher of all time. guys are never the same after they got hit by a puncher like that. the G man claimed to have headaches off and on after the first jackson fight.
his career would look totally different today. it would depend on who signed him and if they were able to keep him under contract
if he signed with a smaller promotor he would be avoided like the plague.
if he signed with TR or GBP he would only fight house fighters and he would probably be put in there with a lot of bums and he'd have a lot of highlight reel stuff. the task then is staying focused and making sure he's matched well
huge knockouts put butts in buckets. we're really lacking a puncher like that today. if jackson were american he'd be a big deal today.
he had his limits, and lost to the best fighters he faced, mccallum and mcclellan (norris was good, but markedly smaller than those two, and is overrated.) the g man was a gigantic MW and mccallum a gigantic jr MW who finished his career with

I get where ur coming from with JJ vs Kirkland but it lasts only until Jackson connects which he would. Julian Jackson KO1
Honestly lets not make Jackson out to be an unbeatable God but in truth i think he Flattens everyone of them, Lara has the best chance and i think he gets Knocked out too
I could see Julian bombing them all out.
He had some unreal power. Shame his chin didn't hold up.
The Herol Graham KO is one of the most immortal KO's in history. Reg Gutteridge's reaction was priceless.OHHHHHHHHH NO!!!!!..That's what we were worried about!! Haha, priceless.

the thing with the hawk is that he proves the great boxing adage that "power is the great equaliser..."
yes, he can be outboxed silly (like graham and norris) but once he connects with that right hand if his, most of the time the one in the receiving end visits the canvas...
that being said, those who mix it up with him like the G-MAN can out-tough him since he aint got the best of chins and leaves himself open for sneaky bodyshots... however, its not really the quality of his chin that holds him back from being a really unstoppable force... he really has a limited skillset and is quite one-dimensional...
...which brings me back to the beginning of my post...:)
