LOL I was thinking Rahman as soon as this thread came up, but I figured with the type of people on this site, it would be laughed off. Rahman's jab is terrific. Watch the Tua fights where Rock completely dominates him with jabs alone and occasional right hands.
I agree winky wright has the best jab. Its like a piston. Watch the shanemosley fight. shanes head loooked like a baloon tied to a string. It was bouncing back throughoout the whole fight.
Rahman does have a terrific jab. He could use it to beat Brewster honestly
Its like a Right! Yeah i said in the Rock vs Relentless thread that Hasim could win if he fought smart (meaning useing the jab ect) But Brewster could win if they war, Id back Raham slightly but will root for Lamon Brewster - that guy is a warrior!
Taylor when he puts it to use. How can people say Wright's jab is one of the best? To be one of the best, your jab has to be able to HURT people. That narrows it down to Wladimir Klitschko and Jermain Taylor. Taylor can win fights with his jab alone when he uses it.
That is a dumb comment. You don't have to hurt the other person with your jab for it to be the best. You have to use it most effectively to win the fight, which is why Winky's is the best.
Mikkel Kessler has so far used his jab extremely effectively to control distance and thereby controlling his opponents. It's also a very hard jab that can do damage on it's own.
Particularly the Kessler-Lucas fight is a good example of completely shutting out an oppomemt using the jab - A LOT!
Don't know how that translates to P4P-jab status. But i don't really see anyone doing it better at the moment - including Winky.
Mishra100 is not a hater, it's his opinion and I agree with him! Wlad's long lazy jab is extremely overrated, I don't even think Wlad's jab is the best in the heavyweight division, I think Rahman's jab is better!
i think he has the reach advantge and hieght that helps.
Winkys jab is is qucik and and comes back quick they is very defensive.
but the best guy to excute the jab in it best form is Hashim Rahman that i seen.
some people jab without slipping or moving the head and not movement just the shoulder but they have other thing like there speed in the jab that helps them or reach or height
people forgot Hashim Rahman and Cintron.
i seen Hashim Rahman jab is really really good he slips his head moves his front leg forward and hit it right on the chin. when e fougt Olge Maskeave the moment he abandon the jab he lost the title and started to lose control
