      In recent years, I'd say Vernon Forrest..
      The 2 fights against Mosley were jab/box masterclasses..

      All time: Well there's so many, but I'd say Pep, Hearns, Holmes, Calzaghe, DLH, have to be up there..

        Yea, Forrest attributed his wins over Mosley to the jab. He didn't stay at the pound for pound top for too long, shame. He was obviously Mosley's Ken Norton though. A case where the style is just wrong for the naturally more gifted fighter.

          Barclay Hearns was another.. Funny how certain styles are a nightmare for certain fighters.. Can feel a new thread coming on...

            De la Hoya, Trinidad, Barrera and Hopkins all have had good jabs too.
            Well I put him in my list. Am surprised more people haven't mentioned the outstanding left Jab of Tommy Loughran. His Jab was very accurate and his best punch.

              he practically demolished a fighter of trinidad's standing with it...

              winky is excellent using it...

                    Tommy Loughran and Winky come to mind immediately as warranting a place on your list IMO. Will dredge my memory for others

                      If I remember rightly he used to use his right very sparingly as it would break so was as one handed a fighter as you would see. Some one hand though!
