It gets extra points from me for him using it as a power punch and not just a tool to set up power shots.

[boxingking500]

Nope.

Holmes
Liston
Ali
Hearns
Winlky / Quartey

where would you rate his then, top 10, top 15, top 20??

Pends on what the criteria is. The fact he can control an entire fight tho, with his jab, speaks volumes to me. IMO its the most effective in recent history for that reason alone.

Sure, Ike had an incredible jab that could potentially KO you.
Winky had a jab that would blind you, and be in your face all night, setting
up numerous other things.
We can go further back, and even talk about the jab of Holmes.

Not neither of these jabs actually SET THE TEMPO of the fight. The pace of which a Wlad Klit fight is fought, is always controlled by his jab.

Hes definantly Top 15. This list is in no order.

[boxingking500]

the fact that he can dominate a whole fight with only his jab is amazing

despite if its boring or not.... that is still great IMO

[boxingking500]

if you dont think he is top 5....

he is somewhere definetely in top 15... if you dont think he is top 15... then there is something wrong with you

In the Heavyweight Division? Absolutely. It's not just the speed, power and accuracy with which he consistently throws it, it's the variety of things he does with it to dominate his opponents. Range finder, range maker, distractor, deterrent, power punch (and he can so sneakily turn it into a killer left hook). I can't think of too many fighters in history who've built their style so heavily and effectively around their jab alone. Not even Ali.
