Good article. I have always figured Jaco to be a guy who took fights on short notice against quality prospects and contenders. Shame he never had the ideal surroundings necessary to come in better prepared. He was a large man at 6'6" and started off with a decent record. Had he been better managed and prepared he might have at least made fringe status. But he ended up settling for being a build up guy for prospects.

Jaco was a tough guy. Of course the Ruddock upset, and went the distance with Douglas, McCall and Cooper. All the more remarkable is that physically he looked to have almost ZERO muscle definition . . he looked more like a software engineer than a professional athlete.

He was the ultimate ko highlight fighter...
