Julian Jackson been had he had a chin..that measured his punch?

Do his losses against the G-Man or the Bodysnatcher become wins?

Massive punchers very rarely have a chin to match their power

Jackson still loses to both these guys, mainly because he wasn't a middleweight and was past his best at the weight. McCallum in particular also simply had too much skill for Jackson, who was a bomber in the purest sense of the word

Julian has become vastly overrated through the years. He had more issues then his chin. In fact, his punch is all he had going for himself.

I was a fan of the Hawk but when I hear people at other sites saying he would knock out Duran or Hearns I lol.

As for Middleweight. Like a previous poster already said. He was a diminished version of his one dimensional self by then.

Thomas Hearns is in my all time top2 favorite fighters. People say that his chin was weak. It really wasn't his chin as much as his warrior spirit writing checks his chin couldn't cash.

Jackson just falls short at too many levels to pinpoint one shortcoming.

Foreman had power & a chin... but not much else.

However those two attributes will get you pretty far.

Someone mentioned In Chul-Baek here. He was soundly beaten by one Troy Waters in an Orient-Pacific title fight only to be robbed blind by the judges
