Jabs that don't get enough credit

[Spicoli]

For all his faults....when he was at best,Michael Moorers jab was superb.Crisp,fast and thudding from a converted southpaw.The 2nd round of 1st Holyfield go outstanding display.......until the KD

[Violent Demise]

Hatton's got a great Jab when he's not using his bean as his lead

[jamiebhoy]

Frank Bruno, may have been against the bum of the month club mostly but it was a piledriver, even managed to hold of Tyson for a short while.

Agree with Hagler , he could switch hands too when leading with the jab.

Duran did not have a powerful jab, really. Duran changed a lot throughout his career, but his jab was always a measuring stick for landing the right hand.

Can't believe nobody mentioned Lennox Lewis. His fights are so boring, but had a sick jab. countered with it, led with it, lived by it.

Let's not overlook the Klitschkos either.

I didnt say he had a powerful jab but then what does that matter....if you have a powerful jab then yeah it helps because you dont want people just walking through it but as long as its quick and snappy which durans was then thats fine.And it as never a measuring stick for his right hand.......that would be saying he was a one dimentional fighter which he never was!
And your deffinatly right with lewis...great jab but to say his fights were boring? He was a supreme tactician!

Best jabs I would have to say Lewis, Cotto (especially in the Molsey fight) and cant believe noones mentioned Winky Wright he has a ram rod of a jab.

Watch Pepino Cuevas, Davey Moore, Hagler, hell even SR Leonard, Duran was not trying to keep anyone away with his jab. Duran had punches from many angles with both hands. I would never suggest my favorite fighter ever is 1-diminsional. He just never had a head snapping jab.

Jermain taylor....back in the day when winning was more important to him then KO's

[Master]

Mike McCallum had a great jab, it could be slow, fast, hard, soft, set up the combination, simply occupy the opponent. It was beautiful to see.

Duran had a great Jab, it was a great tool.
