    Who Had/Has a Better Jab than Larry Holmes?

    Holmes had that jab that just wouldn't stop. I've always thought the jab was the most important punch in boxing. I'm not sure who has the best jab now or ever up against Holmes'.

    Any thoughts?

            Ohthey definitely did. I agree. I liked Vitali better than Wlad, but Wlad had the better jab.

              Wlad Klitchko has a better jab.

              Arguably Pinklon Thomas also.


              A jab is not a punch you just throw out and say its a jab...based on effectiveness,how its used as a measuring tool and abilty to hurt someone and make other punches easier to set up combined all together is what constitutes the better jab because a jab should all together make you be able to control a fight on the jab alone .
