2 billion: Who benefits more?

[JAB5239]

Larry Homes, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston and Joe Louis all have great jabs. If they couldn't have their own jabs than out of the remaining 3 who's jab would suit them best and why?

I personally feel Holmes jab is best suited for the other 3 overall and would give him Ali's jab. And while Liston's jab is probably the most highly thought of in heavyweight history I don't think it suits any of the others as well as it did himself. Thoughts?

I've read of a lot of people who call Joe Louis the best jabber, but that's if you fight like him. Straight up orthodox, staying largely in a single area and setting up a deadly combo. Same with Liston, though his jab is used more agressively than Joe's. Ali had a pretty good jab. Fast, without question, but not really the kind of jab that makes you feel like somebody threw a brick at your face. Holmes combined strength and power in a jab that could be used by any long armed fighter, agressive or not, mobile or not, and keep your opponent off you and in fear of your jab. So i think Holmes would be the best pick because in my opinion it posseses the most versatility.
