    Both were effective in different ways, but I'm going with Holmes', after all, he floored Ossie Ocasio with it.

      Ali's jab was just as powerful as Holmes' jab. Holmes just sat on his punches more. Watch Ali-Quarry I and see ali flatfooted throwing jabs at Jerry. They looked pretty powerful to me.

        The jabs thrown in Ali-Frazier I were pretty powerful, too.

                It was pretty fast. His huge reach, power and accuracy made his jab somthing special. He's ko'd guys with jabs.

                  sonnys jab was powerful but slow
                  alis was fast but weak (compared to sonnys)

                  foremans jab was quick AND powerful it was his most underused punch

                    liston's jab was faster and more powerful than foreman's IMO.

                      Definatly. Listons jab was a lethal weapon.
