Top 5 Southpaw Jabs

[Vic-JofreBRASIL]

Just watched Hagler vs Sibson and damn Hagler´s right jab was good...

In order, I would say the Top 5 would be like that IMO:

1- Whitaker
2- Hagler
3- Winky
4- Saldivar
5- Michael Moorer

TBH, I´m not confortable with the last two... Saldivar and Moorer were the the two guys I can remember at the moment Help me with this, post yours, in order if possible......

Edit- forgot Zapata, he would be a good shout too.....

I don't think Pernell had a greater jab than Hagler, but that's just me. It's debatable, anyway.

I think I'd have Kenny Lane above Saldivar and Moorer.

Hagler had a brilliant jab, so he did. It was educated, and varied. He could break you down with it, box behind it, completely fuck you up with it, etc. Just a great, versatile weapon.

How about one of those old timers whom someone else its more familiar with? Tendler, Freddie Miller, etc.

Elorde, maybe, or Yoko but its tough...

[Surf-Bat]

Hagler is a solid no.1 for me. I place it over Whitaker's because it was a more effective offensive weapon in addition to being a part of Marv's defensive tools.

Nunn?

Never consistent with it too.

He relied on his athleticism, speed and movement too much.

Even in his early pre-title pure boxer-days he beat his opponents by not being lazy on the inside, moving and throwing fast combinations rather than controlling them with his jab.

looks like a solid top 5 to me, but I too would switch Hagler and Whit.

For all of his flaws Michael Moorer had one hell of a jab.

I wish he would have used it a bit more though
