If you get time watch his fight vs Thomas Tate, that fight is a war from start to finish. And is probably one of the most exciting Middleweights of the 90s.

You actually see Julian Jackson go 12 rounds in that one, and he is rocked many times but always come backs. That fight shows how tough Julian Jackson could be.
IMO Julian Jackson is not even the hardest hitting LMW/MW, yes he could bang but watch the fight with Tate he hits him with some bombs yes no doubt, but then watch when Roy Jones hits Tate, he just totally crumbles. IMO Roy Jones was the hardest punching MW of all time.

But when you talk about hardest punchers it's hard to talk p4p IMO, because it's about how well you use your weight and the technique of the punch and obviously a 154lbs or 160lbs man isn't going to be able to be judged against someone like Foreman who in his prime was around 225lbs.

I once watched a program on ESPN classic where they tried to explain just how hard a full blown punch off Foreman actually was and they just said that the closest thing to it is a kick from a horse. Well I've seen some injuries from horse kicks and if thats the power of Foreman that is sick power!
Hagler, Mugabi, Monzon, and Hearns all hit harder at 160 then Jones, and Jackson's was most devastating at 154, apart from maybe Hearns, Trinidad and Norris who really hit harder than him at that weight?
Gotta disagree with you here mate, I think Jones hit harder than all them at MW.
