    While Oscar does have a really good jab, do people actually believe that his jab is better than Ike Quartey's?

    I have heard a couple of times in this thread that Oscar has the best jab in boxing...

      FLOYD was never expecting it. I want to see floyd lose as badly as most of the rest of us, but Oscar is not the man to do it.

      If somehow someway Oscars jab works and is able to outbox floyd, Floyd can start coming forward and box coming forward, OR worst comes to worst he can make in a in-fight and outclass DLH there which he ABSOLUTELY could do. He has much better in skills then DLH does at this point.

      There just isnt a scenario where DLH could win, and because of that, i think Floyd goes into the ring this time, sees his own dad in his opponents corner, comes out with something to prove and stops DLH in the late rounds with a counter right hand with a follow up
      Your avatar is a bad picture for Pavlik ... look at his left hand, wrapped around his stomach ... he needs to learn to bring that sluggish right hand back quicker too ..

      Sorry, off topic haha

        Oscar does not set anything up with his jab..NOTHING ever comes behind it..

        Floyd STOPPED Oscar from jabbing...that's right folks..he took it away..with bodyshots..and quick right hands over it..

        Even Forbes' bodyshots halted Oscar's jabs on several occasions..

        When Oscar gets hurt downstairs..the first thing to go is his jab..

          It was because DLH still has one of the best jabs in boxing.

            One of the commentators said that during the Forbes fight, I can't remember which one.

              It was Steward. I think he said it was the best of all-time... "the best we've ever seen" or something like that. It was pretty shocking to me.

              I think Quartey outjabbed the **** out of him when they fought, so I'm not really sure how his jab is the best of all-time.

              I've heard Larry Holmes is probably the actual deserving party of that award though.

                Nah,

                Oscar doesn't work off his jab enuff to say that..

                NOTHING comes behind Oscar's ****..

                It doesn't set-up anything..

                  Emanuel Steward says all kinds of crazy ****..

                  He said..

                  Octavio Lara was the best fighter he ever trained..

                    It sets up his combinations and more importantly his left hook.

                      Isn't that the sign of a great jab? When it is so effective that nothing needs to follow it for it to be scored effectively.

                      I disagree.

                      He usually doesn't set his flurries up with anything... they usually are set up by the 10 second warning.
