      As much as I love the guy, Frazier didn't jab often and I don't think it played well into his style.

        you're trying to flee from your former statement : we're not talking about fighters who don't consistently use their jabs, we're talking about fighters who almost never used it

        and Tyson and Foreman don't fit that bill, sorry, because they did use their jabs, sparringly or not, doesn't matter

          we could definitely say Frazier ''didn't have a jab''

          he would walk his way in bobbing and weaving instead of jabbing

            Actually, based on a memory i remember him jabbing Buster Mathis in the gut walking in, im not too sure though. I would have to double check.

              Marciano, Tyson, Frazier.....hell any short-armed pressure fighter you care to name. Their reach just doesn't lend itself to jabbing.

                Shane Mosley's "jab" is really just him sticking his arm out there trying to find the range on his monster right hand. He doesn't really jab so much as he feels...does that count?

                  lmao.i didnt flee from anything.where the hell would i run to lol?
                  there probly is no atg in history who didnt jab so i went with the next best thing,which was atg's who used it sparringly.which i already said.

                  and mike almost never used his jab lol.same with foreman in his prime though he did use it when he was older

                  please show me these fightswith these using the jab.i'll wait....

                      a young foreman also had a decent jab i think. havnt watched many of his early fights but he seemed to have a good jab in the chuvalo fight.

                      definatley didnt use it in his prime though.
