    So two fighters meet, both have really good/great/world class jabs but the fighter with the shorter reach wins the battle of the jabs.

    Examples?

    Ward vs. Froch, if that meets the "really good jab" criteria.

    Ali outjabbed Liston and Terrell, thanks to his superior movement and speed.

    Bruno was on his way to outjabbing Lewis before the stoppage.

    Michael Spinks outjabbed Holmes as I recall.

    Ohba's awesome come from behind against Chionoi and Tatsuyoshi-Sirimongkol rank up there too! Not jabbing-wise though... :!:

    The slightly shorter Tony Braxton outjabbing Mike McCallum. But, McCallum outdid him in the body snatching department though.

    Yes it was, Ohba also had an incredible jab.

    For this thread though that's not applicable as he had the longer reach.

    I'll take Harada Kingpetch I as the best performance by a Japanese fighter.
