Does Kovalev have one of the best Jab in history?

[AJ's Boy]

Ive seen Sergey knock multiple contenders out with single jabs to the head or body. He can also control entire fights with it or use it as power punch.

It’s quick, powerful as a straight right, awkward and consistent.

ATG Jab for sure.

Yes he could probably kill a granny with a single jab, for us normal folk it usually takes a good ol' overhand (left for me)

I've seen the odd jab knockdowns but I don't recall any good jab finishers. Anyone have any other good examples?

Logged in especially for this, so hope you're all grateful (I'm drunk).

The best example I have, and it may be a 1 off as I don't know enough about his career to say otherwise, is Wright vs Trinidad. Pretty much finished with a stiff jab if I remember right.

The first person who popped into my head was Sonny Liston with regards to guys who have knocked out fighters with a jab. Here's a great article about his jab.

Trainer Johnny Tocco saw Sonny knock guys out with a single jab. Angelo Dundee saw Liston knock people’s teeth out with his jab and likened it to a battering ram. Rocky Marciano speculated that being hit with it was like running into a boxcar or a trailer truck.

Kovalev's jab is great. I've always thought that was his most impressive punch. Whether it is an all time great jab or not I'll leave for the rest of you guys to decide.

Tunney had a nice jab to him, for grandpa era boxing.

It was the fatigue that got him knocked out. Yarde was huffing and puffing and when one is that tired, every punches hurt.

Kovalev has a legit jab but lets not act like he knocked out a fresh opponent with a jab.

It was fatigue

Yeah I'm not gonna dispute that because you're right but I just meant finished with a jab not first round jab ko.
