        That says it all. Holmes could dominate a fight with his jab alone.

          Liston had a big powerful jab. Holmes was perhaps more accurate and less powerful although the often were hurtful. Listons always seemed hurtful to me. Holmes relied more on the jab than Liston as I recall it, but perhaps themanchine finds some great videoevidence to prove me wrong.

          I find this a very difficult one TBH, but I think the better jab was the one by Larry Holmes.

            Listons jab was more like the average persons power punch. Holmes' jab was immense though.

                Like its been said, Listons was Pure POWER and he could Knock a guy out with it, Larrys was stinging and sharp, id prefer to have Holmes' he could win a fight on that alone, best jab of all time imo

                    Difficult to say.As Liston's speed declined later in his career his jab became a liability,unlike that of Holmes'.Comparing their jabs at their prime,though,I find it difficult to tell which was better TBH.
