why Lewis tho???? His jab is wayyy overrated imo. His big right however is a different story.

Agreed.....

Certainly.

As has already been said effectiveness is the criteria. To me an effective jab isn't just being dominant alone, but what else it sets and or opens up. Based on this here are my top 10 greatest heavyweight jabs.

1. Larry Holmes
2. Sonny Liston
3. Muhammad Ali
4. Joe Louis
5. Gene Tunney
6. Lennox Lewis
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Micheal Moorer
9. Rid**** Bowe
10. Mike Tyson

[B]Lewis above Wlad? Rid**** ****ing Bowe, the most overrated heavyweight in history?

Psssht he can't be he wasn't a great.

I want to see this debate over Sonny Liston what was the thread called? Do you remember?

Lewis used the jab more as a pawing kind of jab than a weapon like Wlad does.

Lewis above Wlad? Rid**** ****ing Bowe, the most overrated heavyweight in history? Have another cheeseburger and think again!

You know what the difference is between Lewis' jab and Wlads? Lewis' jab set up an arsenal of other punches. Wlad has an excellent jab. But against the crappy competition he has around him he should be able to work off of it and he doesn't. Would his jab be as effective against live comp? Maybe, maybe not.

By the way, why don't you post a pic of yourself and I'll post one of me now. Don't be afraid, just man up.

Good list. Personally I would have moved Ali above Sonny. Liston had an impressive heavy jab, but I feel Ali's was a better tool. I would also drop Tyson who had a good jab for his size and style but I think Pinklon Thomas's jab was his primary weapon and he got pretty far with mainly just it. So naturally I would add him.
