power in both hands, great combination and bodypuncher, great timing and precision, fundamentally sound, good handspeed and a great chin.
alot of clowns claim he had a poor chin but they are clueless, in his prime jackson would walk through bombs to land his own shots. but every fighter has that number of punches he can take before he cant take a punch anymore and jackson reached his. the chin is often the first thing to go in a fighter and with guys who get hit alot its always the first thing.
you wouldnt say vargas or mayorga had bad chins in their primes bcuz they lost punch resistance late in their careers so why do it with jackson? in his prime his chin was amongst the best in boxing.
I agree. Vargas and Mayorga were never staggered or knocked down until Trinidad softened up their chins with a few hundred bombs. Their chins were never as good after their fights with Trinidad and got a little bit worse with each war they were in.

Very well said. Most people judge fighters based on their most recent or end of their careers as opposed to the entirety.
He and David Robinson are the most notable athletes I can think of to stick with a hightop fade through thick and thin.
