    Does Gurrero have the best jab at lightweight??

    Does he??If so,is it safe to say that Gurrero has the best jab.Marquez has the most experience & is the best counter,combination puncher & Rios is the biggest & strongest??If so,or anything close,what does that leave for Soto??

    IMO a good jab is something that is used to give your opponent a preview of your power. It's a measurement of respect, but at the same time it is a key to apply your technique. With that being said I think Guerrero has a good jab, but he focuses 50% of his game plan on it. I think Rios has a stronger jab, and he knows how to use it for his game plan purposes, cuz even after rios is done with his inside fighting, and wants to throw straight punches when his opponent is against the ropes he snaps the jab to create more room, and does what he wants to do in the end.

        Guerrero is very good with that jab. He'll use it to keep people at a distance and at the end of his right hand.

        And then sometimes he'll let boxers get inside of the range of his straight right, just so that he can nail them with a right uppercut.

        The Ghost has a good outside/inside game.

          his outside game is much much better than his inside game. if katsidis would've been able to get inside I think katsidis would've won

            Nah, I like Miguel Vazquez's jab better. Very annoying, stiff, and cuts your face up.

                  I just came up with the idea because i just saw the fight with Katsidis & the Ghost was working that jab almost to perfection.He was jabbing coming in,moving out angling to the left & right.I really can't remember when I've seen someone else this year use the jab to such an effect.
