    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
    So much wrong with this comment.

    Ali got landed on by Norton, Shavers, Spinks, & a ton of other people including Doug Jones & Henry Cooper, & he had one of the GOAT jabs.

    Having a great jab doesn't mean nobody will ever land on you.

      as a matter of fact one of the old adages of boxing is to jab with a jabber

      Oscar Didn’t just magically stop using his jab in the 2nd half

      Floyd outjabbed Oscar which made him jab less

        No, you just misunderstand.

        Usyk is a better jabber than Fury. He out jabbed him in both fights pretty easily. So I don't think it's really debatable who the better jabber is if those two.

        The list is wrong

        I am however questioning whether Fury should be on the list at all. A great jabber would be able to use it to keep someone like Wilder off then quite easily. Wilder has neither the jab or footwork to set up a shot with a great jab hitting him. But he gave Tyson huge problems at times, so while I believe it is proven fact Usyk is a better jabber, I also don't believe Fury should be on the list at all (although debatable seeing the way he used it v Chisora for example, but that comes down to your thoughts on him too, and whether it was solely down to size).

        I think there's a fair few better jabbers than Fury in boxing today

          Oleksandr best punch is his jab followed by his hooks

          a master pure box who happens to ko foes with his timing and big man division power
