Jackson is one of the unsung lost greats of the Heavyweight division and the game actually does a pretty good job on him. Here are a set of minor tweaks.

STYLE - Change to Boxer/Slugger. What made him pretty special within his era is that along with Fitz, he was probably the only true boxer/puncher around. This was a real part of his success that he was so adaptable and part of the reason he gave Corbett such fits when they met despite him being injured.

INTELLECT - Change to 9 . A minor change but Jackson was a very clever fighter which fed into his adaptability for whatever situation he found himself in.

CONTROL VS BOXER - Change to 13. a big change. He was very effective against boxers as are most boxer/punchers, and the current ratings for control vs boxer and slugger do not reflect his superior attributes of size, skill and speed.

CONTROL VS SLUGGER - change to 12. See above this guy wasant a good contender but an all time great denied his chance to shine. Despite my love for John L, Jackson would have made mincement of him and this was the main factor why John L hid behind his colour bar.

HITTING POWER - change to 8. Another minor change but warranted. He packed a fair wallop with both hands, due to his level of skill this aspect of his game was underated somewhat, but his ko percentage is good to say the least.

PUNCHES LANDED - Change to 42. This needs reducing somewhat, 44 is too fast he was fast but not that fast lol. Also by reducing and keeping his countering the same it shows more his true adapatable style.

OVERALL RATING - Change to 12. Up one to 12 shows this was a tweak as i said but should Jackson as really the king of this era. The only guy able to compete with everyone and i mean everyone lol.

Next up Tom Sharkey.
