Which southpaw employed the Jab Best ?

hmm. I am not sure I understand the question. Wright wins fights WITH the jab. 70s Hagler used to win fights following up with hard shit behind the jab (although his jab was hard to begin with, being that Hagler was a righty). Pea had an accurate, fast jab, and he also used it in many ways. Pea had the most creative use, Winky's jab is his money punch, but if you had to point someone when you are teaching how to use a jab, I would maybe pick Hagler (maybe not because he is a converted righty, so it would be weird to teach a real lefty to use it like that)

It's between Whitaker and Wright. Whitaker could really throw his jab at odd angles and confuse his opponents with it and he won quite a few fights with his jab. Not much has to be said about Winky's jab. And I believe Hagler hurt Caveman Lee badly in the first round with a hard jab.

Nah, it was a leaping right hand by Hagler over a lazy Hearns jab. Hearns first went spaghetti legged late in round 1 from a straight right hand by Hagler. I don't remember if it was a jab or if Hagler threw a straight right from an orthodox stance. ah ok, I probebly got mixed up because it was a right hand from Hagler. it was odd how he was able to switch inbetween the southpaw or orthodox stances so easily, got kind of confusing sometimes. Im almost positive that punch in the first round was from his southpaw stance though.

Winky Wright wins his fights almost exclusively with the jab. He's my vote. i second that

I always thought Whitaker's jab was one of the best. he could mix up the angles on it, find ways to land right through people's defence. excellent placement. Hagler had one of the hardest hitting jabs Ive ever seen. It was more like a straight right hand than a jab. he could chop up faces with it, and seriously hurt people. now that I think of it, wasnt it a jab that rocked Hearns and led to the following knockout?

I gotta go with Ronald "Winky" Wright.

I'm biased because I like both Marvin Hagler and Joe Calzaghe, and I think they have great jabs.

When things are not going his way, and he has to change plan, Joe Calzaghe uses one of the most influential jabs I have ever seen.

When I wrote this question the name that kept poping up in my mind was Whitaker but then again the way I asked the question I was almost begging for a Wright answer Which southpaw EMPLOYED the Jab Best Now had I written : Which southpaw had the better Jab You might would have considered leaning the Whitaker way

I say Sweat Pea. But i'm not a good historian of the sport so there may be others that are better. :)

Winky Wright wins his fights almost exclusively with the jab. He's my vote.

Tough one. Hagler had a great jab. Whitaker's jab was excellent, so was Winky's. Moorer's jab was very good too. Watch the first Holyfield fight for instance.
