Where does buster douglas jab rank among the HWs

[likeamulekick]

He knocked a couple guys out with that jab and we all know how well it did against tyson. Does he rank in the top 10 or 20 with his jab among the heavyweights?

[T.Horton]

in 1990, against Mike, Douglas' jab was on par with Larry Holmes.

It was insane the night he beat Mike

[Sugarj]

He had a great jab when he was motivated and in shape. But in world class he only showed it in two or three fights......and that doesn't help qualify it for a top 10 or 20 ranking in my book.

Thats not to say it couldn't have been top 5 at heavyweight with a little more world class evidence!!!

Against other fighters it was good, not great. Only against Tyson, on that one night, did it appear to be great.

And sadly, that was a sub par Tyson that night.

The McCall fight was a very good performance by Buster.....

[SBleeder]

Top 50-60.

Berbick fought Douglas in 89 and Carl Williams in 88. I thought Carl Williams jab was alot better.

Carl Williams had a very good jab. Shame about his chin!

There were other heavyweights with good jabs in the 80s, Pinklon Thomas jumps to mind.....
