Liston or Holmes IMO...

Who had the best jab out of all of the heavyweights? I said Holmes. His jab didn't set things up, it was the punch. Who do you think had the best jab though, because that was only my opinion.

- -At least your modest.

Wlad had started his takeover of the heavy division with big Bro Vitali by this OP, so Wlad is the answer to any left hand inquiry of greatness.

I'd put Golota on an equal plain.

Ali had the greatest heavyweight jab. It was a far more versatile punch than Holmes, Liston or Louis. Ali’s lateral movement allowed him to hit opponents at angles with his jab. Ali had the far greater reflexes of the three. Prime Ali’s jab was so quick it was very difficult to slip and it cut opponents to ribbons.
