Dave Tiberi should have called out Julian Jackson in 1992

Strange that Tiberi never fought again. Must have been that disheartened about it all.

In a fairer world, Tiberi gets that decision, has his moment of glory, then an in shape Toney comes back and knock him out.

It is very unusual when a marginal contender turns down the biggest payday of his career and never returns. But that's what happened.

Tiberi vs any middleweight of the time would simply not sell very well, if you could even find a promoter to put up cash for the fight. Tiberi never beat a 'credible' opponent to prove his worth and was rather ordinary. His display against a weight drained Toney, a fight that could have gone either way, was his biggest accomplishment.

Jackson would have set Tiberi on his ass in little time with his head being dismembered and sent 30 rows back somewhere.

Not even Kearns could have sold a Jackson/Tiberi fight as anything other than a wholesale slaughter/complete mismatch.

Good post, I agree. Tiberi was lucky to catch James Toney at the right time, weight-wise, and even then was in a very close fight with him.

Julian Jackson would have creamed him.
