    There are often debates on who has the best jab in boxing now but what about those fighters who neglect it and lead with their other hand, right for orthodox and left for southpaws? Who are the best at doing this at the moment?

    I'll start it off with Joseph Agbeko, Andre Ward & Floyd Mayweather. Who else ya got?

    Benard Hopkins...Even at his age today, he still has one of the most sneakiest right hand leads today.

    Floyd's lead left hook is just asking to have a right thrown straight over it.

    I'd say Hopkins, the way he draws opponents onto the short right hand is masterful.

    I agree Hopkins short right hand is a thing of beauty.
