People need to make up their mind about jabs.

It depends..... In the fight what are u comparing those jabs to?

GGG scored points with his jab in the second fight but Canelo landed the significant shots.

Since it's a Pro fight of course you gonna lean towards Canelo

But then with Floyd etc... His opponent ain't landing nothing ( if anything) good to compare to those points he racked up with his jab.

No thats about right. And harder punches should always be counted more that light punches. Especially when those jabs land at a terrible connect% and thats all u have...

A jab should be your set up punch to size and feel them out. Not used just to fight backwards....

You're describing power shots landed vs jabs landed. I agree. That's not what people are doing.

They're saying (using YOUR example): " yeah but Floyd ran with pitty-pat, he lost". Not "Floyd nullified with the jab".

So then when Golovkin uses the jab to keep Canelo at Bay in the second fight, I expected "GGG ran with pitty-pat, he lost". That's not what people said. They said "GGG's jab is like a power punch, he got robbed".

Do you see the difference in narrative? That's what I'm talking about.

Certain fighters do a jab, people ignore it.
