Riddick Bowe's jab wasn't bad?

The night he beat Tyson he looked like he went back in time and body swapped with a Prime Muhammad Ali. That lazer jab which he used to set up that ram rod right hand was a sight to see. Was beautiful boxing by Buster, not to mention the footwork. His jab would have been up there with Holmes and Ali had he been more consistent.

It's a lot easier to look great when fighting a crappy fighter. Douglas had that going for him. Still a good jab though, worse than the very best but better than many.

Buster had the natural ability and skills to be great, but didn't have the stomach to reach his potential. I think his jab would have been considered truly great if he had fulfilled his potential, as well.
