    Top 3 best jab in heavyweight boxing history

    I’m going with:

    1. Ali: variety - can use it on the fly, can flip it and can make it stiff.

    2. Larry Holmes.

    3. Lennox Lewis

    I pretty much agree...

    1) Holmes
    2) Ali
    3) Lewis

    Ali jab was lethal because of his insane boxing IQ/style, I would say Holmes had the best technical jab in the game

      Holmes - Finito Lopez - Ali
      (Vernon Forest also had a helluva jab)

        Sonny Liston. He could knock your head off with his jab.

              Foreman talked about that jab when he sparred with sonny as an up and coming contender.

                Sonny never gets his just due credit. Just negativity.

                  That's because he was ahead of his time.

                  If he was just a few decades later, he would've been a better, scarier Mike Tyson

                    Fully Agree, now watch somebody come and try to denounce. His jab has always been highly regarded that's just the tip of the iceberg.

                    His overall game is off the charts definitely my top 3 fighters hands down.
