who had the best jab ever p4p in boxing history?

[Scott9945]

Beautiful, educated, sharp jab and he could double it up easily, Bazooka is definitely in the conversation for having one of the best jabs ever, the man deserves more mentions here.

If Ike's prime had been longer he'd probably be more recognized for his brilliant thudding jab. This fight and the Vince Phillips fight were good examples.

I've always rated Liston's.

Full disclosure: i was going to mention him but I don't know a lot about him...So I hope that makes you feel validated that bazooka was thought of regarding the jab.

Gonna go with Liston, Louis and Hearns.

Somebody mentioned Dwight (Braxton) Qawi. Pretty good use of that jab for a short fighter.....something not often enough seen. From what little I've seen of him Lamotta also used a jab to pretty good effect on the inside.

[The Old LefHook]

I do not believe there was an absolute best jab.

Michael Spinks needs to be in the discussion.

[RINGG]

most powerful

Sonny, mention to Foreman and Quartey

and or most effective

Holmes, mention to Leonard, Louis and Whitaker.

Michael Spinks out-jabbed Larry Holmes for 30 rounds

[HopefulHitter]

Most powerful - foreman or louis

Most effective - louis, lamotta or hearns

I think its Louis personally.

The best middleweight jab is probably Kalambay's. It is hard to say what the best jab is because it can be used to do different things but for sheer solid accuracy, consistency and damage then I cannot see past Ike Quartey's jab.
