Is there anyone in history that could out jab Larry Holmes?

[Mowglie]

He's probably the front runner among Heavyweights. Pound for pound I'd go with Hearns. Can't really top a natural Welterweight out-jabbing a Lt. Heavyweight champion (Virgil Hill) who was renowned for his own jab above all else.

Was he the best jabber of all time that would beat anyone else in a jab only special rules boxing match?

Alsowas he doing anything different to enhance his jab? Is that likea backfist technique that endsup with the structure of a stiff jab orisit just flicky likeali's or just stiff like a normal jab?

Other top contenders: Foreman,Listone, Bowe,Lewis

Ali, Wlad, and Tyson Fury would be 50/50

Golovkin would outjab him easily.

I think so too. Artistically, Ali's looked better and had the better visuals but for pure accuracy....Larry was a surgeon.

Ali’s jab would cut opponents to ribbons. Holmes was probably a harder blow but that’s not what a jab is all about. A jabs effectiveness is greatly expanded with great lateral movement which Ali had like no other. With a great jab and movement a fighter can hit at angles which makes the jab that much better of a weapon.
