Who's jab stands out in this era
I'll start ---wlad obviously has a great jab ,
it's powerful,fast,long arms with great timing
Cotto has the best timed jab in the sport. He always throws it at exactly the right time, it has very good power and it's very effective

Who's jab stands out in this era
Andre Ward's jab is a beautiful thing. He doubles it, triples it, changes the angle, the perfect tool for a ring general.

Good shout, he dropped Gomez and Clottey with it and was able to surprise Floyd with it many times.
GGG's jab is like a right hand, so he deserves a mention.
His jab sounds like a power shot.
Cotto is one of course
I think Trout currrently has one of the best Jabs in boxing as well, if you can out jab Cotto then it has to be one of the best
Klitschko's are masters of the jab of course
Chad Dawson has a good jab as well
Ward does everything well but he uses his jab perfect to setup other things
When Khan uses his jab and uses correctly* it's lethal.
*sometimes doesn't get his technique quite correct - normally because he's looking for other shots while throwing the jab
Virgil seems to be trying to teach him how it should be used - Making sure Khan doesn't throw it low leading to his 1,2 KO me Garcia combo.
A lot of good jabs out there. Wlad and Cotto come to mind but the most dominant jab I see is Floyds jab to the stomach. One of the most effective punches in the sport.
Shut up floyd nut sucker
Cotto has the best timed jab in the sport. He always throws it at exactly the right time, it has very good power and it's very effective. He went through a period after the Margarito fight where he forgot about it, but it was brought back around the Foreman fight.
Wlad obviously has a strong jab, Mayweather has a very good jab when he decides he wants to use it, Martinez has a good jab and Sturm has a very good jab....sadly he has forgotten how to throw most other punches.
In terms of effectiveness Wlad who's dominating the HW division with his...
Floyd's disruptive jab to the body (even his jab upstairs is good when used)
Sergio martinez has a vicious jab that he doubles/triples on or hooks off of it. Next to Wlad he might have the most damaging one. Throws a lot behind i and can throw it moving back, sidewys, or forward. Sets up his left to the body beautifully with it.
Nonito Donaire actually has a nice jab if he'd decide to use it more...
GGG has a bomb of a jab too that he uses coming forward to get in. I'd rank Sergios over his strictly due to Serg having used his to break down better opponents in the past. But GGGs is no doubt quite the violent jab.
Cotto's timing and delivery on his is amazing, particularly against slicker/boxer type fighters. He doesnt use it as much as he used to back around the mosley days where he went to the body more previous to that.
