Aahhh. Ossie Ocasio. For a moment I thought it was Kimbo Slice.

There is no right answer here. Liston murdered people with is jab, his was a natural proccess of setting up the next punch - "I only throw my jab to hurt people" is his own telling remark. I also think that Liston's is just as accurate as Larry's, and his astonishing reach makes it a real weapon of choice.

But Larry's was quicker - which I think is an overated attribute in a jab, though it does no harm - but most of all he was quick at withdrawing it and doubling it up. That's a serious serious factor.

I got no problem with Larry dominating the poll - his jab is wonderful. But I think that Liston has an equally strong case.

Both had great Jabs, Holmes would win a fight off his jab alone though.

Larry Holmes one of the best jabs i have ever seen.

[Reggie Miller]

Liston's was more powerful
Holmes's was more faster
hard to decide.

Larry Holmes had the best jab I've ever seen.

I agree.

Larry Holmes no question for me.

[KingTito]

I had to go with Larry Holmes on this one.

When assessing Liston's jab don't go with the Ali fights.
He was at his best around 59/60.
