• Ol" School Boxing Prof...
No... he was not a relative of Micheal Jackson
Peter Jackson was tall, smooth, and elusive on the order of the modern boxer yet he possessed the ruggedness that typified the “Old School”. He had size, quickness, and strength accompanied by great ring science
.
Long before Muhammad Ali, Jackson was among the first of the heavyweights to fight up on his toes. A perfectionist in his style, he developed as fine a “One-Two” sequence as the ring has ever known. His punches had the kick of a mule with either hand.
Grombach (1977 p 45) stated “While he was of the old school, he used a powerful one-two punch in various combinations which made him a tricky adversary”. Fleischer (1938 p 150) said Jackson threw his punches with lightning rapidity while Lardner (1972 p 78) wrote “Jackson’s two blows landed almost simultaneously”.
Always in a position to hit, Peter could feint, counter, block, or slip punches by a few inches and avoid a blow by the narrowest of margins. He was a master boxer and a stinging hitter.Much like the Floyd Mayweather Jr of his time
He was a gentleman in every sense of the word and yet, John L. Sullivan, the man generally recognized as Heavyweight Champion of the World at that time, would not fight him. Fleischer (1949 p 103) wrote that Sullivan drew the color line in order to evade a match with Peter Jackson and adds it was well he did because Jackson probably would have won decisively just like Corbett did a few years afterwards said Sullivan ducked the fight by using the color line as an excuse.
Jim Corbett called Jackson one of the most intelligent pugilists that ever stepped into the ring and said it didn’t matter whether it was a box or slug affair, Peter could adapt himself to it. He [Corbett] often said Jackson could defeat any fighter he had ever seen ..In describing Jackson, Lardner (1972 p 77) wrote “He is considered by many experts to have been the greatest heavyweight who ever lived”. He added, “Corbett ranked him with Jeffries as one of the two greatest heavyweights of all time”.
Corbett related that he once saw speedy Joe Choynski spar with Jackson and not manage to touch him with a glove. He added that on another occasion Jackson boxed with Bob Fitzsimmons in an exhibition and it was like a professor giving a pupil a lesson

Boxing history is so interesting
The Black Prince🏆
wow, such a sad story
Peter Jackson's life is not a sad story. He achieved a huge amount in his life.
Actually Corbett whipped Jackson!
No he did not ....it was a draw after 61 rounds..considering white fighters we're always given the benefit of the doubt in close matches by the judges in 1882..one would have to assume Jackson more than likely got the better of Corbett (who by the way was a great champion) for the judges to call it a draw. Jackson dominated the early rounds, Corbett in the 25th round mounted a vicious assault and almost had Jackson out..but Jackson rallied back, at this point each warrior had figured out the others style and neither got the best of the other the rest of the fight. each fighter had there moments but nobody whipped anybody...after 61 rounds...the judges decided to call it a draw.Which speaks very highly of Jim Corbett..who when most fighters like Sullivan refused to fight black fighters..Corbett stepped up, and like the champion he was and fought a great fight..I enjoy a robust debate over legendary boxing greats but you should at least get your facts straight...if your comments are to be taken seriously
@@vivianbutler5851 You prerach fake history! All accounts stated Corbett handeled Jackson! You know this too!
@@FighterGlory No credible boxing historian supports your false claim that Corbett whupped Jackson.....but they all support my facts that it was a draw evenly matched.. which is historically documented..by experts Corbett from what I understand did however break Jacksons ribs ...and in my opinion Corbett was the better, more craftier boxer, while Jackson's style was more aggressive....less tactical..but its pointless to continue discussing this with someone who doesn't know shit about boxing..just rambling and trolling seeking to serve their fantasy agenda
@@vivianbutler5851 You are wrong again and petty!
@@FighterGlory Show me proof.of your claims .I'll wait..and the only thing petty was you watching a video that honors a Black fighter and try to discredit his achievements with false claims... You could have said something positive about Jackson and Corbett both but you chose to push your supremacy initiative..with a false narrative..that you know is not true....I see thru you
