Where does Cotto's left jab rank among active fighters?

[ICB]

To me, the most startling difference to Cotto's game is just how destructive his jab has become.

A few years ago when he was a prospect, he had a good jab, but everything revolved around the left hook to the body. Now his jab is the punch he builds everything around. He throws it with speed, with accuracy, and it lands with the power of a right cross.

So, where does Cotto's jab rank right now among active fighters? The best? 2nd best behind Wlad? Top 5?

Well personally i think Mikkel Kessler, Rafael Marquez, Jermain Taylor, Wladimir Klitschko, and Floyd Mayweather Jr when he uses it, all have better jabs than Cotto. But the best jab i've ever seen at Welterweight is Ike Quartey's it reminded me so much of Larry Holmes's jab, and also a close second is Hearns's famous flicker jab.
