Julian Jackson is one of my favorite fighters, and i think he is probably the hardest hitting fighter of all time. His punch technique was superb, and the thud on his punches were scary. And the amount of 1 punch KO's he has is unreal.
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!
Jackson's power was frightening p4p it must be, the way he flattened his opponents said it all.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Well he wasn't really at MW long enough to fight elite other than B-Hop (and no-one came close to KOing him) but he floored iron chinned Toney at SMW and the punch that caved in Virgil Hill's ribs at LHW was freakish and the KO punch on Griffin at LHW showed his freak power, so i'd say he was p4p a better puncher at MW than LHW.
Doesn't Frank Bruno hold the record for the hardest punch ever? I don't know who I heard it from.. may of even been a Bruno fan boy. Is there any truth to this?
Regardless he probably has one of the highest knockout percentages in HW history.
