We all know the jab is probably the most important punch in this sport, the key tool in a boxer's armoury, the general basis of every fighter. However, many different fighters have developed or used their own style of jab and have had great success - so, with this in mind, which jab is the most effective or desirable to possess?
I'll just name HW fighters as examples for the moment:
Unorthodox, loose jab used by guys like V. Klitschko
Quick, flicking jab like Ali's
Piston jab used by guys like Holmes, Liston
Well schooled, telephone-pole long jab like Wlad's and Lennox's
Stiff, powerful, accurate but slow jab like Foreman (more in his comeback)
Now, bear in mind the question is not about which heavyweight had the best jab, simply the style of jab that were used by the fighters I mentioned,[U] in general - which jab style is the best/most effective/most desirable?/U]
