    Who has the best jab between these four middleweights?

    Who has the best jab in your opinion between these four middleweights?
    Felix Sturm, Ike Quartey, Jermain Taylor and Winky Wright.
    Also, if you want, comment your pick, and their jab differences (hand they use, speed, other hand position a that time, etc.).

    I think that Sturms is the best pure jab when you get down to brass tax. It's very stiff/hard, it's quick, it's accurate, and it disrupts what his opponents wants to do. Felix puts his body and legs into the punch.

    Taylor flicks his jab out from time to time and doesn't commit to it like Sturm does. It's second best.

    Wright's right jab is the third best. It's a good all around jab and he's shown that he can really control someone with it in a fight. I rate it thrid best because it doesn't quite have the quickness or power on it that the other two aforementioned jabs have.

    Quarteys comes in last in my book now. Currently, it's a good jab but nothing more. Ike is no longer stronger than everyone else and can't control people with his jab. Ike had one of the best jabs of this era however in his prime. At 147 it was a thing of beauty.

        i picked winky but my second would be sturm
        winky used taht jab for the tito fight, but tito doesn't have great movememnt either. sturms is great. sturms sets up behind the jab.
        winkys jab is pretty much all he does, and it may not be a fight of the year thing, but it wins him fights
        n really, isn't that all that matters?

            I stand by what I said about Strum when I saw his first match 3 years ago.

            Dude has one of the best jabs I've seen in a long time.

              I think Quartey had an awsome jab.

                agree from what i saw from sturm he looked like he had a very good jab i might switch up jermain and winky not sure but i agree that ike had one of the best in his prime or so im told.

                  Not only do I think Winky's jab is the best but it is the most educated jab out of all four. Winky can control an entire fight and keep his opponent on the outside with his jab easy. Sturm couldn't do that with Delahoya and Taylor's jab can be countered easy because he keeps it so low. Hopkins will expose that to the world on the 16th.
