Frazier never quit vs Foreman. The ref stopped the bout upon urging from Frazier’s corner. The audience was screaming for the bout to be stopped as well. Foreman was telling Frazier’s corner he was going to kill Frazier if the bout was not stopped.
Determining best jab ever depends upon the criteria. In my book it was the Ali jab as I favor the punch as a weapon to surgically cut an opponent to ribbons, set up follow up blows and act as both an offensive and defensive weapon.
Those that favor more of a static power jab favor Holmes, Liston and Foreman. All were powerful punches but not with the speed or combined with lateral movement allowing the punch to land at all angles like Ali’s.
That fight was brutal. Frazier was getting up over and over like Algieri getting dropped 6 times with Pacquiao.
