Best jab in boxing today.

Chocolatito has the best jab because it sets up combination and thats what a jab is for in a pro fight.
The single jab you see from Wlad and Mayweather has become a "show" punch and it's use is more defensive these days. Against real quality both would get countered over the top or atleast up the middle. Their ordinary because their purpose is deminished.
GGG uses his appropriately put it's not a great jab. Khan does show a good jab when he's on the move laterially. He has good reach and he shows a good shoulder but when he's still he could get injto trouble.
The biggest problem with the jab punch these days is that most fighter land them at the very end of the punch. No one steps in to snap the head back, it's all about "tag your it" BS these days. Reminds me of amateur boxing.

When did they say he had the best jab ever?

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

I think it was the Showtime broadcast of Khan vs Alexander. They said best jab in boxing today and "maybe" best jab ever but that's subjective really.

Yeah, all those fighters you listed had great jabs too. Lewis in particular could (and did) win some fights by almost singularly throwing the jab alone for the whole fight. ODLH jab was fast and sharp, consistent and relentless. Hearns, Holmes, Leonard all had great jabs too.

Brook's jab is very good, no doubt

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).

maybe the best jab ever (B.J.E).

Golovkins jab not great?

He lands the highest of any active fighter at an average of 11 per round, above Wlad. Furthermore he doesn't waste jabs like Wlad or other fighters and has knocked fighters down with the jab alone. He's known for using power jabs constantly...

Anyway, statistically Golovkin has the best right now.

Cotto
Vlad
GGG

Order really doesn't matter, all three are top notch.

[Calabis]

Mayweather best jab to the body...Wlad's is stiff as hell, would never want to be on the receiving end of one of those.

wladimir
golovkin


those are my top two. wladimir is half way across the ring. if you get too close, he holds. if you stay on the end of the jab, you'll eventually eat a right hand, or a hook off of the jab if you try and slip your way inside.

golovkin ghas a phone pole jab. it snaps heads back and puts people in retreat mode. great timing, very accurate, and good lord is that kid strong.

This guy should be a comedian.

GGG's shi.t level of comp cannot be ignored.
He's fighting scrubs in a dead division..and he's still getting busted up.

GGG's jab is OK...just like he is.
