There all different haglers broke you down
Whitaker's was more for distance control and scoring
Winkys was jab seemed to offset you more then anything
Idk about Moore I've only seen like 3 or 4 of his fights loved the cooper fight tho

Hagler's for me. Only because I'd rather get hit with Whitaker's than Hagler's... Though it's hard to pick. Both of their jabs were integral parts of their success but Hagler had such a punishing jab that it's hard for me to go against it. Damn, it's a hard pick though when I think of the way Pernell would move while throwing his...

Hagler's jab was hard but was often thrown with the commitment and singularity of a power punch.
Winky's jab was excellent for countering an opponent's offense but he didn't really, in my opinion, "work" off of it.
Whitaker's is THE southpaw jab to me. Look at him in the olympics all the way to the end of his career when it was clear it was long past his "best" weight, that jab was used every way possible. He was able to adapt that jab to just about each and every opponent.
