A lot of those numbers aren't accurate. The jab doesn't have to land cleanly to be effective a lot of times.

[Eric Holder]

Hopkins hardly uses his jab, he perfers to lead with a straight right followed by a headbut

[Silencers]

Hopkins doesn't throw many shots period and he uses his left hand as a range finder and/or to confuse his opponents to set up his right hand and considering how defensive minded he is he probably doesn't want to use the jab because he can possibly be countered with right hands over the top. He has a pretty good jab when he actually uses it though.

I was gonna say, who needs a jab when you have the WWE launch off the ropes with an overhand right, with a headbutt right behind it in case the right misses?

Floyd doesn't rely heavily on the jab either...still gets the job done...

Co sign,it's B-Hop's ability to take the jab away from other fighters thats his bread and butter!!

Whatever gets the job done...only in recent fights is when he really tried to catch someone with the head

...ROTFL...::boobies:

[mike ruler]

but he's the best headbutter out there. Never gets caught. Like what he did with Winky, pure art.
