Recognized in his time as one of the best men in his weight class, Jackson was from the same New York neighborhood as Benny Leonard. He fought some of the greatest fighters of his generation but never received a title shot himself. There still seems to be a large number of Jackson's early fights in 1913 and 1914 that are yet to be documented.
