Thread: malignaggi jab

I've been looking for someone who throws a lot of jabs (effective) and someone made a reference of the man paulie malignaggi which I agree. I've been watching his fights lately and man he throws A LOT of jabs,not just flicker and tapping jabs but actually jabs to land. Usually up jabs and combines that w/ feints also.

Question is what else do you think is the reason for his successful jab through out the years? And do you think this is a must add to your game? ie; increasing jab output

Paulie is not bad, but overall he is B- or C+ level.

Study the best: Leonard, Holmes, Mayweather

I think Paulies jab is more deserving of a mark higher than B- At least a B, B+. Not a lot of people speak on Mayweathers jab. It is amazing. He can win a fight with it. No one has an answer for it. Damn near perfect if such a thing could be said

Shane Mosley, not only does he have a beautiful jab but the way he creates things off of it is beautiful as well.

Whats everyone think of andre wards jab? or even broader how about he use of the lead arm? almost cuban style, lots of pawing and activity with it.

There is a huge amount of wisdom and insight in this video. And that is a pro that can't punch much.

Mosley had a phenominal jab. He didn't dominate fights with it but the way he worked off of it was amazing.

Probably any fight. The jab itself isn't phenominal but the way he works off of it. Its how he creates those sweet ass combos. He keeps that jab pumping and thats what he creates off of.

Lets put the discussion to a hold
I plan to study jabbing more in future, so I will comeback to this thread
I cannot really back up any statement at the moment

Mosley's footwork might be the most amazing aspect of his game. With that being said Mosley was at his best when he was pumping his jab and doubling/tripling it up and creating off of it.


I as well am going to go back and study some Mosley, its been awhile since I have watched him.
