    Quickest jab

    who do you think had the quickest jab that also puts the most effect on his opponents ? to me, two come to mind:

    1_Mohammed Ali: looking at his size and reach, he had a very very quick and stinging jab that can cause all sorts of problems to any opponent.

    2_ Thomas Hearns: all the above, but i think even better

    how about you guys

    Jermain Taylor...when he uses it it is one of the most beautiful punches in boxing.

    Malignaggi - Made a career out of it, fighting with one hand

    Honorable mentions....Mosley, Mayweather, Leonard

      Tough question, so many fighters to think about...but I would say right off the top that Muhammed Ali had a very quick jab that also made your head snap back. Larry Holmes also comes to mind.

          Floyd Mayweather had a really QUICK jab
          Ike's jab was MIGHTY powerful...it was no different from a straight.
          Pernell's Jab is the best in my opinion. He'd land it at will

          In my opinion...Pernell's jab >>>>Larry Holmes.

            co-sign.

            Taylors jab is probably the best around, ATM. its quick, sharp and effective.
