    Default Jabs that don't get enough credit

    You guys can list more if you want, but these guys have great jabs, but they are known for other tools.

    Hearns: his jab can rock back heads, but he was always known for his right cross and its ability to knock heads off.

    Miguel Cotto: Great jab really controls the tempo of a fight, but once again because he is such a great left hook artist especially to the body it doesn't get the credit it deserves.

    Pernell Whitaker: obviously known for his defensive wizardry, his jab was like a spear, it was amazing to watch, he really got good power behind it.

    Marvin Hagler: If Whitaker's jab was a spear, then Marvelous Marv's jab would be a battering ram, his jab was what most right crosses wished they were, it was quick, but it landed like a cross and because it was his jab he could counter with it at times no cross would have been able to have been thrown.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr: Often accused of not having a jab, well he landed almost twice as many jabs as Oscar did against him. He has the best jab to the body I've ever seen, and he is the one amazingly fast fighter I've seen who doesn't flick the jab, his jab makes a b-line he gets his whole body behind it, especially to the body, it was great to watch in his natural weightclasses.

    Sonny Liston: Wow his jab was a battering ram like Hagler's and it was fun to watch.

    Foreman: same thing he always landed his jab effectively, IMO it was his best punch and when he came back after retirement it was a deadly tool, and it landed a lot on Holyfield.

    Feel free to name other big name fighters with a jab that never got its just reward.
