    Cus D'Amato pointed that out when Holmes was champ, and told a young mike Tyson (and anyone who would listen) that a Tyson would have great chance agaisnt Holmes.

    I wouldn't think Tunney would be that high his jab was more a prod than a powerful or very accurate jab, he would be outjabbed by Foreman Golota or Bowe i think, and definatley Holmes i think Holmes' was better than Alis too

    I wanna give a mention to Old Man Foreman here.

    He didnt have the same handspeed overall but one thing he did do in his second career was jab the **** out of people. He could always land that left and it was powerful. He stunned Holyfield with it a couple of times.
