I was wondering if the flicker punch/jab is true. Â If anyone knows the boxer who created it or have any tips on how to use it please teach me.

its easy u just have to know how to do it right ...most people who try tend to move there shoulder then the arm and then the hand like a whip THIS IS WRONG and if you look in the mirror youll notice its easy to see coming ....u need to move your hand 1st in an inward motion upwards almost like an upper cut (flicking jab only works when you let that left hand hang low otherwise its just a normal jab

anyway b4 u try doing this look in the mirror and make sure its not a punch u can see a mile away ....if u just watch to see how it LOOKED when ali did it youll do it wrong

The key to this punch is that you don't snap it; you put the left arm out stiffly and let it rise. Holman Williams, Archie Moore, Charley Burley, Cocoa Kid, Eddie Booker, Joe Walcott, there were dozens if not hundreds of fighters in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s who fought with the low eft utilizing this type of jab.

What is it?

SOunds like Roy Jones 's snapping semi backhand styled jab from down low to me

Watch the way Thomas Hearns jabs thats a flicker jab.
