  • Best heavyweight jab ever?

    Tell us who had the best jab in heavyweight history and why.

    I think Ali, Liston, Holmes, and Buster Douglas (yes, seriously) can all qualify.

    Muhammad Ali had the best jab in history

    Liston had a pole of a jab-long & powerful

    Holmes jab was quick but not a lethal weapon

    Douglas had a very good jab

    Foreman
    Norton
    Bruno
    Bonecrusher
    Wlad
    Vitali
    Louis
    Baer
    Lewis

      Valuev has the greatest jab ever

      it's so deceptively slow that you actually think it's faster then it is and get hit

          Personally I can't decide between Holmes and Liston they both had extremely stiff strong jabs with Liston having the advantage in reach and power and Holmes having the speed.


          Douglas had a decent jab but his peak was too short, he didn't have chance to test his jab(while at its best) against different types of boxers and styles.

          I think Louis' jab should at least get a mention, his opponents said it was like getting hit with a average persons straight right and I believe he knocked someone out with it. (Can't remember name )

            In no particular order:

            Larry Holmes
            Sonny Liston
            Joe Louis

              Wladimir Klitschko should be ranked up there also. But I'd go: Liston, Wladimir, Holmes.

                That thing Wlad paws with is considered a jab?

                    For me it's Ali and Larry Holmes. Of course there are others with great jabs.
