      Wlad has a great jab but I would replace him with Louis with Wlad number 5. Liston should be above Ali IMO

        I'd put Homes at 1 and 2. His jab was lethal. Of course d4thincarnation says jabs don't count so maybe this thread is moot. LOL!!

            I agree with just about every fighter on your list minus Foreman, early in his career he barely threw a straight right much less possessing a great jab.

              I think Lennox had a better jab than Foreman.

                    What set of criteria to use for judging a great jab? Accuracy, crispness, speed, power, quantity? Anything else?...
