id say Muhammad Ali as his jab was more versatile than a lot of those guys ,a lot of those fighters jabs were effective when they had they had the centre of the ring or were on the front foot ,im not sure any of them were as good using it going backwards and going fowards as Muhammad Ali was

accept for Holmes

I voted "Other"

Oscar De La Hoya has a good jab but IMO the best in many a year was Ronald 'Winky' Wright. He could control fights and shut down good fighters with that one punch!

Out of that list Holmes.

Carlos Monzon deserves a mention as well, he had a very underrated jab.

IMHO holmes had the best combo of speed power and accuracy
hearns' as similar but perhaps more powerful

liston foreman and bruno are the most powerful but all left it out there too long. few heavies could match alis for speed asnd it had a nice lot of snap too!

roy jones' jab was very nice when he used it, nopt all that powerful but he could throw 3 before you had time to react
