    To answer OP's question, I think Cotto and GGG have the best jabs in the sport with Klitchsko rounding out the top 3
    Floyd's jab to the solar plexus is the best punch in boxing.

    A jab to the body is still a JAB.

    GGG...c'mon now....he's not fighting in a competitive division,even still,his jab is nowhere near the best in boxing.

    This cult of Golovkin is getting kinda' creepy.

      I do like Floyd's jab to the body, but I like his straight right hand to the body better. & I'm part of the "GGG cult" for thinking he has a good jab? Lol okay

        Mayweather imo. Not as good as it was, but still the best.

        Wlads is effective without being versatile or that special. Ggg's is powerful.

            I think it was Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi who both said that Amir Khan has the best jab in boxing today and maybe the best jab ever (B.J.E).

                A lot of great jabs.

                Cotto's jab timing is beautiful.
                Brook has a thudding jab, accuracy and timing.
                Mayweather's is superb, to head and body.
                Wlad's was great, but it's losing some of its snap.

                  When did they say he had the best jab ever?

                  I can name 5 fighters with better jabs: Holmes, Hearns, ODLH, Lewis, and Leonard.

                    Herrera's a must mention. Very few utilize the jab in as many variations as this guy.
