Is Khan's jab up there with -

[BetterCallSaul]

Is Khan's jab up there with Klitschko, Dawson, Mayweather, De La Hota etc?

It was a serious weapon last night. He controlled distance, he countered, he measured up, and hurt his opponent, all with his jab.

I believe it was one of the best jab performances in recent history. Albeit against a limited, but respectable opponent.

What do you think?

[BOLLOCKS]

Khan is ****.

[MaminM]

He has a great jab. It's a shame he didnt use it against prescott.

[bugzlife]

i think he did a decent job with his jabs. not that great but i think it's more decent that floyd's because khan's jabs have power, unlike floyd's.

[shadeyfizzle]

No, no and no.

3 reasons why his jab looked great

1)Malignaggi had his left hand down the whole fight

2)Khan was the taller fighter with bigger reach

3)Khan fought a disciplined fight and stuck to the gameplan


doesnt make his jab particularly great. I think he still throws low and still relying mainly on speed and athleticsm. But he's going to run into someone who'll be able to go right over that jab and make him pay.

It doesn't matter how many ways you come up with to discredit Khan, his jab at the moment is better than Floozy's.

Floozy's has fought nothin' but statues of late. Khan tonight, faced a slick, quick guy and still managed to have a pretty solid connect % with his jab alone.

His Jab was good, it reminded me of Wlad V Eddie Chambers.

1- When there's 2 orthodox fighters in the ring, no one should be catching or blocking jabs with their left hand.

2- It's part of the reason, but that shouldn't take away from the quality of his jab.

3- See 2.

Fact is, if you're landing 20+ jabs per round against the level of fighter Khan is, you have a great jab. Khan's jab had speed, accuracy, power, and controlled the pace and distance at which the fight was fought.

He made Paulie look helpless with it. His jab was great tonight and on those guys level, but he's only shown it for this fight. He needs to do it again to be able to put him amongst the best.

[Uturn]

He defiantly showed his jab is a weapon. I think it will play a major role in his style in the future, that jab was crisp as hell snapping Paulies head back on a number of occasions.

Paulie is hard to hit cotto and hatton had hard times finding him at times but Khan couldn't miss with the jab. Best jab I've seen for a while, although needs to work on his combination punching and his timing was a bit of at times.
