Is Pac not having a jab a myth?

[madsweeney]

I keeps seeing this issue brought up when talks about the mayweather fight..."can't beat May without a jab". I'm not saying Pac has an ATG jab, but he seems to have a pretty solid, quick jab and uses it well for opening up his opponents in the past. I think he tends to do an

I remember hearing Roach comment on it before stating jabs from southpaw stance is overrated vs orthodox and that's why they don't rely on it much. Realizing how Pac has shut down his past opponents jabs with right hooks, it only makes sense that the opposite can be done to him. May has a great counter left hook and Pac throwing alot of jabs would be plain ****** in that fight, just like May throwing his to the body.

Not that I see.

His jab isnt even a real jab. I call it a distraction type of jab. He throws it out half assed to make you look at it then he blasts you with the left hand.

Its not a jab used to measure or pop his opponents head back with.

On Body punching from Floyd on Pac. I disagree. Some of the best body work in his career have come against lefties.

Judah, Corley, and Mitchell comes to mind. Hes very good at going to the body. Especially the jab to the stomach. His long arms allow for it.

MAyweather has no jab.

Ask JMM if PACQUIAO has no jab!

2 stiff hard jabs and straight left and down goes JMM for 3 times!

Where is Pump with the ban. Stop trolling these boards so much.

and specially Paul Williams has no jab.

He throws that tennis backhand jab which is complete garbage!

Thats why D minus lever fighter QUINTANA destroyed him!

You cant be 8 division champ without a jab!

mayweather has one of the best jabs in boxing right now

and i'd call pac's jabs against jmm just to set up the right distance for his powerful left,

I personally dont see pac's jab as anything special but it does give him enough time to close the distance and get in range to throw a power shot or combo

he has a jab, but it's not as effective as mayweather's or cotto's. his jab is mainly used to set you up but it can keep your ass at bay also because of the combos and angles that come behind it.

He can counter jabs well:
