    While looking at him his jab probably doesn't stand out but what about Nick Ball?

    Despite being 5'2 with the wingspan of a toddler he out jabs just about everyone. In fact I believe every opponent but Ford who had 1 more connect.
    So bizarrely effective.

      Hamzah Sheeraz should probably make this list.

          This article reminded me what was my coach telling me back in the days - only with a good jab you won't become a champ but without a good jab you will never become a champ.
          Btw also pretty much amazed that DDD is on the list and Sheeraz is not...

            Interesting ranked list. It's good that they continue with the rest of the punches (power, hook, uppercut, unusual punches) and also with other skills (footwork, defense, chin, intelligence, boxers with boring style, etc.).

                  I think Lamont Roach has a low key decent jab. Maybe not top 15 but probably in the top 20.

                    Fury got out jabbed by Usyk... But is above him. Also Wilder landed him him. If his jab was that good, someone with such poor technique would never land

                    They should switch places at best, but I'm not sure Tyson should be on the list, especially not today. He's more a smotherer now
