Would have loved him to be in the heavyweight division. Him and Tyson going at it might have been a great match. But I think Tyson would have taken him in 6. But if I had a bet it'd be Tyson in 4.
He didn't have to get credit from the world. He is back home in St. Thomas training the youths in our community to be DISCIPLINED, GOD CENTERED AND FIND PEACE IN THE ART OF BOXING. He is such a beacon of light for our young men over here in St. Thomas. He is the same person now that he was then. Awesome human being and we all love him
He gets credit. The Hawk's name always comes up when talking about punchers and favorite fighters people had when we were younger. Julian Jackson is a fairly beloved fighter to fans of the sport
Met him yesterday in my second amateur fight and that man is a Ray of sunshine i got to fight with one of his fighters and they fight just like him lol
@Paul Blackman it's called work! This man used to row a boat from St. Thomas to St. John. Why does he have to be on steroids? He ate great, fresh food and worked like animal!
the woosh too, all punches make noise through the air but that overhand right right cross almost rabbit punch he threw was really distinct, timed for maximum speed at impact and to rock the jaw so it rocks the skull, clinical as fuck, the first guy to knock him out used an almost exact copy of that same inside right short hook with the step through, not quite a cross, not quite a hook ,not quite an overhand right, lookig for that sopt he can feel where he knows he got the leverage on the chin to shake the brain. terrifying...but m,ercifully swift
While I enjoyed watching him fight during his heyday an objective review of his record is in order. His resume falls well short of Hagler,Hearns type of record. He carefully avoided Roy Jones as well. Although many say Jones avoided him. Also Mike McCallum knocked him out in 2 rounds. This was after the first round in which Jackson hit him with everything. I shudder to think of what a prime Hagler or Hearns would have done to him. Jackson was powerful and impressive but he was knocked out twice in his prime.
probably because most "champions" are fabricated. there are so many incredible warriors out there who are practically nameless because big business simply just overlooks them. they are fearsome fighters but that wont necessarily equate to fame. fame is being good, but also getting the corporate backing, signing deals, and sort of becoming a brand of your own. but you need lots of capital for that.
I never knew what an absolute assassin and gentleman he was. Never got his credit but as you said in the internet age now he is. He seems quite happy as well. I’m glad.
He was a beast, his trainers made him into a tyson of the middleweight but never trained on his defense to help him be an all time great boxer plus he was under Don King management 🙄 which alot of boxers under Don didn't get the publicity cuz he had his favors with which one can pull in the most money plus middleweights at that time wasn't as big as promoting heavyweight boxers so he def got the short end of the stick

Julian Jackson, if you happen to read this, we still love ya my man. Thank you for your contribution to boxing and what a gift you were. Some of the best highlights in all of boxing are because of you. What a monster right arm you had my friend. You are a legend and your footage has established that for the rest of time.
When i was into boxing in the 80's and 90's ... i never really heard of this guy and it pisses me off that he didnt get promoted like a champion deserves ... this guy is a class act ... very respectful ... good guy
Exact same here, we were robbed of witnessing such talent until now. I mean I saw him on a couple of undercards for Tyson. But because of his shitty promotion that's as far as it went.
I don't recall hearing of Julian Jackson before this. That was my loss. Thanks for bringing him to my attention; he was truly impressive. As a brother in Christ, I wish him all the best.
Sadly, there ARE thousands of boxers just like this young man ,who were screwed over their whole careers. I personally know 3 of them from the 90's and early 2,000's that were all better than 99% of the boxers we see today.....FACT
@@mitchumjames5653 HAHAHA! Of Course! I'm a Jamaican!! Mike 'The Body Snatcher" MacCallum! He's a LEGEND! WHAT! RUDE BWOY! He knocked out the "HAWK"! I Remember BRETHREN.
I feel the same way bro! Dude was a DUDE!! That power was VISCIOUS!! To be THAT confident in and before each and every fight?? COLD BLOODED!! That man was blessed to have found his calling early in life and just followed his dream one city..one fighter at a time. ✌️
There’s no money in being the good guy beside manny and Oscar there’s not many “good “guys in boxing. All the attention goes to aholes. Plus like they said if he had been from Mexico or USA he would have been huge
It’s sad to see Julian never received the recognition he deserved back then. It’s a shame he wasn’t fairly compensated throughout his career. He was 100% championship material. And seems like a genuinely nice man. Very humble. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is his health and it’s obvious he’s doing fine. No signs of CTE, no slurring or words or inability to complete sentences. God bless he came out of those battles with his health not compromised.
From what I know, every boxer who has fought since a child and had many pro fights will have some level of cte, you won’t recognise this in a small interview. For example his family will notice mood swings and short term memory issues
@BadBoy Bill yes sir. No recognition bc I was there to watch Tyson every time. I really didn't even know this guy to be honest. I was a young kid but Tyson just was a like waiting to watch a Trainwreck and all over events on that day didn't matter.
Jackson had a brilliant mind set - "Win Lose or Draw - I'm always a Winner" - you don't have to be a boxer to apply that kind of positivity to anything you want to achieve in life!
Thank you, for giving this man his flowers while he's living. It's crazy to think I'm not familiar with him, at all. He's what boxers should model themselves after. He has all the abilities with humility & confidence, that's not too boisterous & I respect that. You just gave me a gift this morning. Again...thank you.
My opinion SOLEY..neither Hagler,nor Hearns,nor Leonard,or Alvarez, nor Duran,nor Julio Ceasar Chavez,Triple G,or Pacquiao,or Spence,nor the two twin brothers or any other potential middle weight during his era would have been able to handle his tremendous KO power. It was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE! P.S.I'm aware that some of those boxers weren't NOT in the middle weight division.But if some of them were Including Floyd Money-Mayweather, I would choose him.
@@TheGrwhi1 also, I think you’re high, lb for lb, Tyson was much better. Head movement, foot work, etc. plus fighting guys that had a foot of height in you? Lol lol you’re a silly man to compare Julian to modern day boxers, the advancements are outrageous, and he wouldn’t compare to anyone nowadays, you probably think Bruce Lee would beat the fuck out of all the MMA fighters of today too huh? Lmfao, Jose Aldo would murder Bruce lee and could eat his heart after doing so.
Thank you BLTV, for all the work that went into this video & thank you for sharing it with all of us who took the time to watch it. I'm so glad that Julian made his mark in boxing & is now giving back more than the sport ever gave him. I pray that his days are filled with the blessings of happiness & health.
I followed Jacksons career. He was on the undercard of Chavez fights. Me and my friends knew we was watching something special when Jackson entered the ring. He became the highlight of fight cards eventually to all of us. The fighter we talked about and couldn't wait to see. Still the hardest puncher I have seen ever.
I've been privileged to have watched one of his title fights on tv when I was a kid, the punching power that he has is just scary at times. It's great to see a lot of fans now acknowledging how great he was as a fighter.
I never like anything on UA-cam. But this.. I wish there was a heart reaction. or a double like. The guy that makes these videos deserves an award. 100%
@@jasonyoung9559 He's obviously young & still learning about the sport we all love. ...But yeah, every boxing fan knows Julian "The Hawk" Jackson & His brutal KO power...Arguably the heaviest hands in modern middle weight history along with guys like Benn, McClellan, Hearns and Ketchel even though hes from the ol' school, Stanley Ketchel was a powerful s.o.b.... But Jackson Hands down is no#1 KO Power!...And Mcclellan had the best chin out of those guys....would have loved to see G-Man vs Hagler! ...Hagler wins but what a brutal war it would be?!
@@jasonyoung9559 yeah that’s partially the issue… I didn’t truly start watching until the early 2000’s. Diego Corrales lightweight/Juan Marquez featherweight were the first fighters I actually followed. (Late response I know)
This Jackson guy was always overlooked whenever people talked about great power punchers and KO artists of that era. In my opinion, pound for pound, Julian Jackson and Mike Tyson had the most devastating fists of the 80's. Watching their KO reels seemed surreal. It was kind of like watching a movie. For example, the Rocky franchise. It was like watching Tommy Gunn, Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago's scripted knock outs. Thank you for putting this video out there for those who don't know about Julian Jackson. Very well edited material here.
He’s not had the media coverage in recent years that some older fighters seem to get but in his day the Hawk was notorious and well known amongst boxing fans. Never forget watching him KO Bomber Graham live on TV.
Massive respect to Jackson. Getting knocked out by some dude and loses his title and then instead of being angry or sad or anything, he says "god bless you", what a wonderful human being.
McClellan is not just some dude but a generational talent ... he knocked out Jackson in the rematch too ... just watch the video on his great but tragic career.
@@EELLISON2012 Nigel Benn and Gerald McClellan was a war. It's hard for me to watch that fight, knowing what happens to McClellan post fight. Nigel Benn was a nightmare in the ring, he had hands of stone.
@@alexgover3151 Eubank was a animal in the ring, lol. Great puncher and had a high boxing IQ. I liked Nigel more but I never had anything bad to say about Eubank. Their battles in the ring were legendary! Gerald obviously was not a "defense 1st" type of fighter and he took alot of punches over his career but the way Benn was teeing off on him that night is quite scary, imo. Really fkn sad. I realize it's a part of the sports but I can't help feeling that way about the man. 😭 I wish boxing would help that man out bcuz he's broke (because of the medical bills over the years) and his sisters and children are struggling financially. When I seen a documentary on that whole situation, my heart hurt. I wish I could help out but I live in northern California and it's hard here. San Francisco (bay area) is not a easy place (financially) to survive, with 2 kids.. lol
“Live by the sword, die by the sword” This is one of the most brutal sports on earth, capable of breaking any man. Julian Jackson chose his code, stuck to his code, and came out on the other side most unscathed. God Bless this warrior, and thank you BLTV
@Amazon Associate he did have one detached retina in his left eye. That happed in the herrol grahm fight in 1990, the fight he won with knockout of the year. He fought till about 1998 with that injury. I see julian all the time. He is doing great. Still slim and trim training kids at his gym and serving his community very well. He doesnt have any slurred speach or CTE or none of the side efects that come from that brutal sport. The only 2 fights that took alot out of him where those 2 wars with the great gerald mccllelan
@@juancarlosbelboder2534 Glad to hear he is doing well. One of the greatest fighters, in and out of the ring and one of my all-time favorites. Tell him many still enjoy his fights on UA-cam and we are still rooting for him in life.
I got to know this man on a personal level. Him and his family some how showed up to the little hole in the wall church I went in Henderson Nv. And I got to know him and the family very well back then. Getting to hangout and being invited to their home back then I knew he was a boxer and hearing his stories and what not. But it didn’t ever hit me as to how well of a boxer he was until others geeked out and fanned out when seeing him. I just got to speak to his son again after years of not speaking and glad to hear that he and his family Are doing very well back in the Virgin Islands.
What a legend. He deserves to be more remembered for his skill and unique power. Solid human being paying it forward. He looks like he's enjoying his life, and I'm happy for him.
Wow. Never heard of him before. He definitely deserves more acknowledgement in and out of Pro- Boxing. Sport's is a young Man's game. These Legend's understand that.
I'd never heard of him before watching this, but he's suddenly found himself in my top 5 fave boxers of all time! Awesome fighter, great attitude to life, top fella! I take my hat off to him.
This guy could make a person fall in love with boxing. I can't believe that I totally missed him during that golden period of boxing. He is a wonderful boxing gem of pure power punching. Wow, you are out still standing, then comes the fall.
Ageeed 100% bud. I was one of the ones that he helped turn into a real hard-core julian jackson and boxing fan. Watched him with my pops when I was in grade school . Haven't seen a hitter like him since!!
Always loved watching Jackson - devastating power. Pound for pound he's up there with the hardest punchers ever. Never a dull moment when this guy was fighting.
I just want to tell you that this is probably the best boxing documentary I've seen on UA-cam, and all of your videos have a care and dedication to them that floors me. You took an underrated boxer and gave him the respect and discerning eye he deserves.
@@rottweilerfun9520 He was considered an “islander”….Boxing pre 2000’s was promoted big on U.S. vs The World….It’s really that simple…🤷🏾♂️. Sad, because he missed out on a lot of money, and recognition as one of the greatest punchers ever, and arguably one of the best boxers ever period.
Glad to see he's still alive and thriving. Doesn't seem to be a common post career scenario for most pro boxers. Sometimes being 'a star' may be worse than the more humble track of Jackson.
@@b1bo840 yep unlike Gerald McClellan who Jackson plus the other dude who fought Gerald for the championship gave him brain damage and he was put in a vegetative state
@@TonyDracon It is a confusing and contradictory statement. But I think he means he has total confidence in himself no matter what happens (win, lose, or draw).
@@damienholland9244 I believe he means that win lose or draw, he’s a winner no matter what for stepping in that ring and giving his all trying to reach new heights for himself, boxing, or both.
Rarely do you see somebody through and through who is just a good guy, who is there for the sport and passionate. A complete gentleman, and great role model! Thank you for introducing me to his skill and unfortunately more unknown career.
@dogs aren't dangerous saying "God bless you" is a mean of respect for his opponent. And Jackson was a cristian himself. Why get so bothered when people say this?
@@randmiller88 let me help you since apparently the Randy’s aren’t getting any smarter in your family. I asked if they had any proof BECAUSE neither can prove to the other anything to their satisfaction SO…(are you still able to follow Randy?) SO with that being the case don’t go telling anyone their wrong in their beliefs. It’s just kind of a prick move. But heck carry on if that’s your style.
Another middleweight of the same era Mike McCallum doesnt get the recognition he deserves either......Alot of fighters ducked "The Body Snatcher" but not Jackson! Even though Julian was soundly beaten!
Julian was a brilliant boxer with terrifying power.He was and still is such a nice,humble and honest man.I am pleased that he has retained his passion for boxing even into his retirement.
Everyone who follows boxing knows he had the very best K.O punch in boxing history. Thanks for uploading this historic and super-quality video footage. His fight against the 'G-Man' features the heaviest punchers (of all time) by two fighters ever to step into the middleweight ring. Something of note was Jackson had to bulk up to the weight, whilst the 'G-Man' was a natural super Middleweight. What a brilliant and all round nice guy (Jackson is) and as myself an ex-Thai Boxer, he's got to be my all-time hero. I'm so happy to have discovered BLTV Extra. LONG LIVE 'THE HAWK'!
Back in 2015 - 2016 I would speak to Julian Via emails in which we would talk in depth about punch power and some of the things he did to maximise his Knockout Power. He explained that he always had Naturally heavy hands and his first Coach who he refers to as Willy taught him how to use these heavy hands through boxing Technique... Julian talked alot about Balance and Core strength with Timing was what made him so effective when throwing bombs. A secret he spoke about he referred to as " Rooting " Where you train your toes to Curl down when momentarily bracing yourself to throw a punch.. He says when you Curl the toes down and grip the floor you can feel every muscle in the body Rip into a punch... Balance was something he said was extremely important if you want to punch with maximum leverage you need solid planted balance... Jack Blackburn taught Joe Lewis the same secret about the " Rooting " Julian said he never touched weights only pull ups and push ups with Abdominal exercises. In the gym he worked on Speed and Timing... Even using the heavybag he always focussed on speed because his power was so natural. As a teenager he would work on fishing boats and had to Reel in large heavy nets full of fish which he said strenghened his shoulders and Back Muscles which he believed had something to do with his power.
Working on those fishing boats would have been great for his shoulders and back muscles but if he didn't continue to work those shoulder and back muscles their strength would have returned to how he was before he did any fishing! He had a great build....naturally.......I've seen it myself. You can work all day on your physique, but the single most important ingredient of your build is what you were given by nature!!
In a way that shows the BEST IN DAM NEAR EVERYTHING WE SHOW WITH RESPECT FOR THE ARTIST AND THEIR VARIOUS CRAFTS &THE GOOD PEOPLES WATCHING AT HOME RESPECT !!!
I RESPECT THIS MAN AS A WARRIOR. THERE WAS NO FEAR IN HIM . HE CAME STRAIGHT ON . HE NEVER TRIED TO FIGHT GUYS THAT DIDNT FIGHT , HE NEVER TRIED TO HOLD ON TO A BELT . HE WAS PURE FIGHTER AND YOU HAVE TO LOVE THAT ABOUT HIM.
@@Itsnotapet I SAID , I RESPECT HIM AS A WARRIOR. HIS TEACHING BY CUS DAMOTO SEEMS TO BE A TWO WAY SWORD. ON ON HAND , MIKE WAS TOLD HE WAS INVINCIBLE AND THAT HE WAS ( GOD LIKE ) BUT ON THE OTHER HAND , HE WAS NOT TAUGHT THAT WITH GREAT POWER , COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
It brings me great honor and pride to see my coach recognized as a native of the Virgin Islands myself I had the pleasure of being trained by Julian the hawk Jackson which is weird to say I know him as coach and as a great father figure in my life it was always great traveling to tournaments with him and people recognizing him
I remember watching him level Graham. But that footage of Norris copping 3 in a row is amazing. I love watching JJ fights. Hope he's doing well. Should have earned millions.
Amazing editing, well explain and put together. I boxed for 4 years as amateur fighter. He still trained people and in fact I got out of the street because of his help and willingness to help teens get out of the street at no feed. His gym is 100 free. They might ask you for a $35 fee just to run the paper and if Julia’s knows you don’t have the fund he will still let you join the gym. His gym is located in the USVI St Thomas (340 boxing). Best couch someone can ever have.
Bro... that's an awesome comment. 😔🙏 I'm very humbled by your story. Thanks for sharing this, a lot of people really don't know these details about him. Sounds like a really cool guy. God bless you. 😎🇺🇸
Been a fan of Jackson since the mid 80's and it is so great that he is getting recognition through videos like this. Like many have said in these comments, his positivity and gentle nature were refreshing and belied his destructiveness in the ring. What a potent offensive fighter he was!
There needs to be a movie 🎥 about Julian! The world must learn about this incredible fighter! Sadly, I've never even heard him. Smh. Thank you for the video we all appreciate it very much! We see you Julian, your skills and talent in the ring will be never be forgotten! Salute to one of the greatest that ever done it! Yessuh ✊🏾

Same here, totally missed him. Wow.
Criminally underrated, overlooked and under appreciated. God Bless you Julian!
Julian looks like he walks around as a natural middleweight. Great to see him happy and healthy. Thanks, Hawk! 🥰
Never knew Jackson, but in one clip, he has becoming one of my all-time favorites already! Much respect, sir! God bless 👏🏿
Great to hear. True boxing heads know about "The Hawk".
well since you know about him now you should research Mike "the body snatcher" MaCallum who destroyed him in 1986.
@@mitchumjames5653 HAHAHA! Of Course! I'm a Jamaican!! Mike 'The Body Snatcher" MacCallum! He's a LEGEND! WHAT! RUDE BWOY! He knocked out the "HAWK"! I Remember BRETHREN.
@@mitchumjames5653 A Pure BAD-ASS. We BOTH know that.
I feel the same way bro! Dude was a DUDE!! That power was VISCIOUS!! To be THAT confident in and before each and every fight?? COLD BLOODED!! That man was blessed to have found his calling early in life and just followed his dream one city..one fighter at a time. ✌️
Some modern fighters should take his example of sportsmanship, humility and honesty. A classy guy.
he reminds me a Giannis.
@@trapafuyah He has the same hairstyle as him too! They might be related😳
@@HansumTrini lmao fr though, fr
There’s no money in being the good guy beside manny and Oscar there’s not many “good “guys in boxing. All the attention goes to aholes. Plus like they said if he had been from Mexico or USA he would have been huge
@@davidrichardson518 he was (is) American.
This guy is truly amazing. One of the best of all time, absolutely no question. And he wasn't a trash talker, he remained humble. Legend
Jackson always impressed me because every punch he threw was hard. Any shot could be a knockout punch.
It’s sad to see Julian never received the recognition he deserved back then. It’s a shame he wasn’t fairly compensated throughout his career. He was 100% championship material. And seems like a genuinely nice man. Very humble.
But at the end of the day, the most important thing is his health and it’s obvious he’s doing fine. No signs of CTE, no slurring or words or inability to complete sentences. God bless he came out of those battles with his health not compromised.
Very true , I can’t imagine how many dudes he gave CTE too
From what I know, every boxer who has fought since a child and had many pro fights will have some level of cte, you won’t recognise this in a small interview. For example his family will notice mood swings and short term memory issues
Ron G , Roy Jones was another fighter who wasn't paid what he was worth.
@BadBoy Bill yes sir. No recognition bc I was there to watch Tyson every time. I really didn't even know this guy to be honest. I was a young kid but Tyson just was a like waiting to watch a Trainwreck and all over events on that day didn't matter.
He was famous tho
Jackson had a brilliant mind set - "Win Lose or Draw - I'm always a Winner" - you don't have to be a boxer to apply that kind of positivity to anything you want to achieve in life!
Agreed, thanks for the reminder and shining light on some wisdom. Even if you fail, there's mad respect in giving it all you have.
True story. Amen
Very True.!
Can i have your numerosas
He was a sorely underated fighter but a great man. At the end of the day it's the second one that counts. Great comment.
Thank you, for giving this man his flowers while he's living. It's crazy to think I'm not familiar with him, at all. He's what boxers should model themselves after. He has all the abilities with humility & confidence, that's not too boisterous & I respect that. You just gave me a gift this morning. Again...thank you.
My opinion SOLEY..neither Hagler,nor Hearns,nor Leonard,or Alvarez, nor Duran,nor Julio Ceasar
Chavez,Triple G,or Pacquiao,or Spence,nor the two twin brothers
or any other potential
middle weight during his era would have been able to handle his tremendous KO power.
It was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!
P.S.I'm aware that some of those boxers weren't
NOT in the middle weight division.But if some of them were Including Floyd Money-Mayweather,
I would choose him.
@@TheGrwhi1 obviously someone from 20 yrs ago could get him, I’m sure Floyd or Alvarez wouldn’t have a problem knockin him out.
@@TheGrwhi1 also, I think you’re high, lb for lb, Tyson was much better. Head movement, foot work, etc. plus fighting guys that had a foot of height in you? Lol lol you’re a silly man to compare Julian to modern day boxers, the advancements are outrageous, and he wouldn’t compare to anyone nowadays, you probably think Bruce Lee would beat the fuck out of all the MMA fighters of today too huh? Lmfao, Jose Aldo would murder Bruce lee and could eat his heart after doing so.
@@TheGrwhi1 46 fights - 43 knockouts is unbelievable. He knock out Terry Norris a hall of famer and having a fast hand combinations.
Thank you this are words, of wisdom, he is all the and a champion of champions still. To his memories and ours.👍🙏✌
Thank you BLTV, for all the work that went into this video & thank you for sharing it with all of us who took the time to watch it. I'm so glad that Julian made his mark in boxing & is now giving back more than the sport ever gave him. I pray that his days are filled with the blessings of happiness & health.
Jackson’s sincerity and humility is top class. I’m glad the world is starting to recognize him and that Jackson has students that can model after him.
Immediate like after you showed the upscaling. Won't take that for granted, thank you🔥🔥🔥
agreed. good work.
No lie I seen your comment as I was liking the video after seeing the upscaling.
Ya I subscribe right away
Immediately, than I was going to comment but saw yours!
Fr for somebody to put extra work fs sub ND a like 💯
One of the great knockout artist of his prime. Humbly a person with humility and pure heart.
yeah, that's his problem. The media and americans like jerks, so they get pushed for the jerkoff fans.
The "HAWK"!
I followed Jacksons career. He was on the undercard of Chavez fights. Me and my friends knew we was watching something special when Jackson entered the ring. He became the highlight of fight cards eventually to all of us. The fighter we talked about and couldn't wait to see. Still the hardest puncher I have seen ever.
I've been privileged to have watched one of his title fights on tv when I was a kid, the punching power that he has is just scary at times. It's great to see a lot of fans now acknowledging how great he was as a fighter.
Glad to see Julian Jackson still has his senses and is doing well in retirement. 🦅
I wasn’t worried about The Hawk health since most of his fights didn’t last more than 5 rounds 😂😂.
Amen too that brother
@@yvans. but he was KOed often. He was lucky that he was not hurt like Adonis Stevenson was. The two KO artists were incredible.
@@martinaubut9208 Yeah but most of your damage are in sparring not regular fight.
@jethro riz yes he is a great fighter and a true gentleman and champion
I never like anything on UA-cam. But this.. I wish there was a heart reaction. or a double like. The guy that makes these videos deserves an award. 100%
I couldn’t agree with you more. Beautiful video.
I never like anything other than UA-cam.
Nobody cares what you like or not.
@The Matt smith r u ok?
I never heard of him, he was amazing! Also seemed extremely humble. People like him are what makes some of these sports fun to watch.
ditto.
He’s very humble he’s a boxing teacher here in the VI trying to help his community especially at risk youth.
lol how old are you? He was definitely a known guy in the 80's and 90's.
@@jasonyoung9559 He's obviously young & still learning about the sport we all love. ...But yeah, every boxing fan knows Julian "The Hawk" Jackson & His brutal KO power...Arguably the heaviest hands in modern middle weight history along with guys like Benn, McClellan, Hearns and Ketchel even though hes from the ol' school, Stanley Ketchel was a powerful s.o.b.... But Jackson Hands down is no#1 KO Power!...And Mcclellan had the best chin out of those guys....would have loved to see G-Man vs Hagler! ...Hagler wins but what a brutal war it would be?!
@@jasonyoung9559 yeah that’s partially the issue… I didn’t truly start watching until the early 2000’s. Diego Corrales lightweight/Juan Marquez featherweight were the first fighters I actually followed. (Late response I know)
This Jackson guy was always overlooked whenever people talked about great power punchers and KO artists of that era. In my opinion, pound for pound, Julian Jackson and Mike Tyson had the most devastating fists of the 80's. Watching their KO reels seemed surreal. It was kind of like watching a movie. For example, the Rocky franchise. It was like watching Tommy Gunn, Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago's scripted knock outs. Thank you for putting this video out there for those who don't know about Julian Jackson. Very well edited material here.
A tedy bear that can hit like a mule.
Good comments. So true!
Can’t believe this is the first I’ve heard of this brother….. He was truly robbed of his well deserved spotlight….
He's famous
@@barrybritcher i dont think hes in the hall of fame though
@@wonder777warrior6 He is in the hall of fame. Was elected into it a few years back.
He’s not had the media coverage in recent years that some older fighters seem to get but in his day the Hawk was notorious and well known amongst boxing fans. Never forget watching him KO Bomber Graham live on TV.
Don King his promoter was a thief and a snake.
I’m so disappointed that I’ve never heard of this man until now! I would have loved to watch his fights back in the day!
I feel ashamed of myself despite being a boxing fan, thank God nobody tell me before I found this out.
Massive respect to Jackson. Getting knocked out by some dude and loses his title and then instead of being angry or sad or anything, he says "god bless you", what a wonderful human being.
McClellan is not just some dude but a generational talent ... he knocked out Jackson in the rematch too ... just watch the video on his great but tragic career.
McClelland is not doing well. His faculties are not good anymore. He got injured badly in the ring where he almost died.
@@EELLISON2012 Nigel Benn and Gerald McClellan was a war. It's hard for me to watch that fight, knowing what happens to McClellan post fight. Nigel Benn was a nightmare in the ring, he had hands of stone.
@@josephcosta5382 Very True some puncher and fighter but 1 man Benn couldn't beat like him or not was Chris Eubank.
@@alexgover3151 Eubank was a animal in the ring, lol. Great puncher and had a high boxing IQ. I liked Nigel more but I never had anything bad to say about Eubank. Their battles in the ring were legendary! Gerald obviously was not a "defense 1st" type of fighter and he took alot of punches over his career but the way Benn was teeing off on him that night is quite scary, imo. Really fkn sad. I realize it's a part of the sports but I can't help feeling that way about the man. 😭 I wish boxing would help that man out bcuz he's broke (because of the medical bills over the years) and his sisters and children are struggling financially. When I seen a documentary on that whole situation, my heart hurt. I wish I could help out but I live in northern California and it's hard here. San Francisco (bay area) is not a easy place (financially) to survive, with 2 kids.. lol
I just want to say I appreciate the care and effort you put into bringing these stories to life and in the best quality possible.
“Live by the sword, die by the sword”
This is one of the most brutal sports on earth, capable of breaking any man. Julian Jackson chose his code, stuck to his code, and came out on the other side most unscathed.
God Bless this warrior, and thank you BLTV
Amazon Associate damn..both retinas were detached? Oof that’s rough
@Amazon Associate he did have one detached retina in his left eye. That happed in the herrol grahm fight in 1990, the fight he won with knockout of the year. He fought till about 1998 with that injury. I see julian all the time. He is doing great. Still slim and trim training kids at his gym and serving his community very well. He doesnt have any slurred speach or CTE or none of the side efects that come from that brutal sport. The only 2 fights that took alot out of him where those 2 wars with the great gerald mccllelan
@@juancarlosbelboder2534 Glad to hear he is doing well. One of the greatest fighters, in and out of the ring and one of my all-time favorites. Tell him many still enjoy his fights on UA-cam and we are still rooting for him in life.
I got to know this man on a personal level. Him and his family some how showed up to the little hole in the wall church I went in Henderson Nv. And I got to know him and the family very well back then. Getting to hangout and being invited to their home back then I knew he was a boxer and hearing his stories and what not. But it didn’t ever hit me as to how well of a boxer he was until others geeked out and fanned out when seeing him. I just got to speak to his son again after years of not speaking and glad to hear that he and his family Are doing very well back in the Virgin Islands.

I never understood how Julian Jackson wasn't a huge star. I still don't.
@@rottweilerfun9520 He was considered an “islander”….Boxing pre 2000’s was promoted big on U.S. vs The World….It’s really that simple…🤷🏾♂️. Sad, because he missed out on a lot of money, and recognition as one of the greatest punchers ever, and arguably one of the best boxers ever period.
Plus it was Tysons era. Everyone didnt care about anyone else but him. I consider the hawk the Tyson of his class
Glad to see he's still alive and thriving. Doesn't seem to be a common post career scenario for most pro boxers. Sometimes being 'a star' may be worse than the more humble track of Jackson.
he's still alive n thrivin' because he didn't receive nearly as much as he gave 🤣

Classy highly underrated boxer. I’m glad he is doing well. He deserves more.
Mike needs to get this dude on his podcast
Why wasn’t this kid filling arenas?! Shame the promoters didn’t give him more shine! He deserved it!
All the whiteboys didn’t want to bring their girlfriends. Too much raw Blacksplosiveness on display...

Yet another victim of Don King !
FACTS ... because I just learned about him this very moment
Until now ?
I was a boxing fan in the 80’s, and I have never heard of him.
Julian was a brilliant boxer with terrifying power.He was and still is such a nice,humble and honest man.I am pleased that he has retained his passion for boxing even into his retirement.
@LAW Yes I absolutely agree with you.I was surprised that I hadn’t heard about him until about a year ago.
Being from the Virgin Islands we’re extremely proud of how Julian Jackson carried himself and represented us on such a big stage

Have always really liked Julian Jackson, as a fighter and as a person. Thanks, BLTV.
The psychology of this guy’s fighting is so on point.
This man is a legend in my opinion , a great fighter and ambassador of the sport of boxing
Julian’s greatest rewards are yet to come! Continue being a Light in the darkness, brother!
Amen
Everyone who follows boxing knows he had the very best K.O punch in boxing history. Thanks for uploading this historic and super-quality video footage. His fight against the 'G-Man' features the heaviest punchers (of all time) by two fighters ever to step into the middleweight ring. Something of note was Jackson had to bulk up to the weight, whilst the 'G-Man' was a natural super Middleweight. What a brilliant and all round nice guy (Jackson is) and as myself an ex-Thai Boxer, he's got to be my all-time hero. I'm so happy to have discovered BLTV Extra. LONG LIVE 'THE HAWK'!
Gerald McClellan better
I clicked faster than Julian Jackson's KOs. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to preserving boxing history BLTV!
Phenomenal boxer and apparently a great guy. He really should have had a lot more recognition. If it were these days, he'd have been a huge star.
No to be a great you have to have followers and fight nobody’s
And stayed the hell away from Don King 🥊
Never knew about this guy... absolutely a true artist, humble in defeat a true fighter.
Cheers for the video :D
Because you know a crap.about boxing
@@combatesdeboxeo Yup.... Never said I knew anything about boxing :D
Back in 2015 - 2016 I would speak to Julian Via emails in which we would talk in depth about punch power and some of the things he did to maximise his Knockout Power.
He explained that he always had Naturally heavy hands and his first Coach who he refers to as Willy taught him how to use these heavy hands through boxing Technique... Julian talked alot about Balance and Core strength with Timing was what made him so effective when throwing bombs.
A secret he spoke about he referred to as " Rooting " Where you train your toes to Curl down when momentarily bracing yourself to throw a punch.. He says when you Curl the toes down and grip the floor you can feel every muscle in the body Rip into a punch... Balance was something he said was extremely important if you want to punch with maximum leverage you need solid planted balance... Jack Blackburn taught Joe Lewis the same secret about the " Rooting "
Julian said he never touched weights only pull ups and push ups with Abdominal exercises.
In the gym he worked on Speed and Timing... Even using the heavybag he always focussed on speed because his power was so natural.
As a teenager he would work on fishing boats and had to Reel in large heavy nets full of fish which he said strenghened his shoulders and Back Muscles which he believed had something to do with his power.
Working on those fishing boats would have been great for his shoulders and back muscles but if he didn't continue to work those shoulder and back muscles their strength would have returned to how he was before he did any fishing! He had a great build....naturally.......I've seen it myself. You can work all day on your physique, but the single most important ingredient of your build is what you were given by nature!!
Pullups would keep that strength in his back I think@@KryptonitetoallBS

Yeah but if it's not heavyweight I don't even care this guy's are skinny af lol
It brings me great honor and pride to see my coach recognized as a native of the Virgin Islands myself I had the pleasure of being trained by Julian the hawk Jackson which is weird to say I know him as coach and as a great father figure in my life it was always great traveling to tournaments with him and people recognizing him
That sounds amazing
I remember watching him level Graham. But that footage of Norris copping 3 in a row is amazing. I love watching JJ fights. Hope he's doing well. Should have earned millions.
Wow.
His style of boxing was ahead of his time. What a great boxer! !
He was knocking out cold his opponents. I never heard of him since watching this video. What a champion.
Amazing editing, well explain and put together. I boxed for 4 years as amateur fighter. He still trained people and in fact I got out of the street because of his help and willingness to help teens get out of the street at no feed. His gym is 100 free. They might ask you for a $35 fee just to run the paper and if Julia’s knows you don’t have the fund he will still let you join the gym. His gym is located in the USVI St Thomas (340 boxing). Best couch someone can ever have.
