Mike McCallum. The bodysnatcher had a beauty of a jab which could do all the things you described. His jab was truly artistic.

Body Snatcher is a great call, and DEFINITELY NOT the only one I missed. There are just too many examples of fighters with great jabs. McCallum is one of my favorite fighters ever, and what I would consider a true pro and complete fighter. I miss the 80s and 90s...

It was a great list and Sambu Kalambay had a good one. You nailed the best ones there.

well, it gives you something to do while you wait around for something to come in. a right hand. a left hook. something. anything. you throw it just short, so he cant counter it. he cant counter you, so he has to lead. so thats what you wait for. maybe you can get him to run into a big counter, or maybe he knows better, and will throw something at you just to get you to counter so he can counter your counter. may luck be with you. but its good to be able to have something to do in the mean time.
