Who Had the Hardest Jab

[sisforshaq]

Winkys got a tight jab. Not the best ever but very solid.

Not the most solid or best jab..the HARDEST jab.
Foreman had a very hard jab. Liston had the most powerfull.

I was actually impressed by Foreman watching some of his early fights, especially seeing how a real young Foreman at the Olympics used his jab to bust the face up of his Russian opponent...George seemed to not use his jab enough and even the straight right hand {right cross}, as he got closer to the title.

His jab was punch from hell, it didn't even seem like a normal jab:
It seemed like his jab packed more power than a lot of the heavyweights that loaded up their punches.




One of the most beautiful jabs I have ever seen was that of Larry Holmes, truly a great example of how to throw the jab.

[beez721]

Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, and Ike Quartey all had great jabs.

lewis pawed with his too much and foreman didnt really develop his jab till his 2nd career

don't laugh, but Frank Bruno had a heavy heavy jab

yes,,,but it was very slow

[Mr. Ryan]

Of all time, the hardest jab in boxing history was Sonny Liston. His upper body was so strong, making his jab a violent weapon. His jab used to knock opponent's teeth out. George Foreman's jab wasn't just to set up his offense, but it was a weapon. I can recall him knocking Gerry Cooney down with a jab a number of years ago. While not known for it, Tyson's jab was a very hard weapon. When he just threw the jab with his whole weight behind it, it was a power punch.

P4P, I would say it was Ike Quartey. In his prime, it was almost impossible to get past his jab. His jab enabled him to back any opponent up. It was a power punch that was harder than most fighter's right crosses. Quartey's jab was the equivalent of getting a telephone pole stuck in your face.

I agree,,,,lb for lb quartey's jab was numero uno. it was like a piston. strong and quick...plus he timed it well and used it consistently
