      he just stopped using it for no reason!

        I definitely do. Watch the Corrales & Castillo bouts again. My goodness, that jab was sharp.

          Floyd has a longer reach than Cotto, faster hands and better timing.

            I love how Floyd throws da left hook off the jab. he did that fantastically against Corrales which got him 5 kds. he did it quite well on Mosley too. When he thows that jab it sets up alot of things. u in trouble if he throwing that jab. i mean up jabs, jabs to the body...he does so much off that jab!

              This is the punch that would make the Pac fight an easy night for Floyd. It made it an easy night against Shane as well. His jab is top notch.

                    when floyd used his jab earlier in his career, he landed it at will---and it was snappy and hard---when he uses it now, not so much, he lands it at will-lol

                    his accuracy with his jab is the best in boxing because he lands it even with the slightest twitch from his opponent--like he did with jmm in round 4 of their fight alone--

                    against southpaws, he lands it in a counterpunch---like he did with judah in round 2--over judah's jab--he landed it followed by the right hook against corley which folded corley something serious-lol

                    his jab is his most dangerous weapon against southpaws, no matter who it is--he'll land it at will just about--

                    overall, it's not his best punch, but most effective--that may look crazy but his actual best punch and most comfortable punch is his left hook--he can hook of anybody's jab---and his right hand lead has slipped some, but he throws that to the body well---

                    imo, his jab is his most uncomfortable punch because it's a risky punch for a style he has now--but it lands better than any other punch he throws---and even though his jab to the body has slipped also lately, it's the best punch he throws with the jab imo---just look though how hard he threw it at mitchell compared to mosley and jmm, altough he threw it pretty hard at jmm in round 4 of their fight-lol

                    he has the best jab in boxing when he feints with it though--which is why it's so dangerous because you can't avoid it--he times it with your movement--he landed back to back jabs against jmm in round 4 and marquez buckled some and it threw his confidence away when he tried to avoid it for the rest of the fight--

                    but, when he throws it as a counterpunch, it's unstoppable, but he doesn't face guys that he has to do that with---but, he'll do it against sergio and manny when he fights them, don't worry about that--lol

                      and he feints with it--that video didn't show me ****-lol

                      if anything, manny will be jabbed to death when floyd throws it at him and he can throw it while moving-lol

                      like you posted, his reach is longer, his timing is so much better than manny and cotto combined--

                      floyd can counter you with a jab and offset your rhythm--he did it against a counter puncher in jmm in round 3--floyd has too many weapons for manny--cakewalk fight for him--easy win for floyd, no doubt--
