Which boxer had the best jab of all time ?

Fastest? Gary Russel Jr.

Hardest? Still Holmes.

 

Mayweather!

 

Apollo Creed had an unbelievable jab lol

Holmes like others had said but ALI, Liston and Hagler could through a pretty mean one

 

ike quartey came to mind right away, dlh had a good jab when he used it

 

The very first name that came to my mind when I saw the title of the thread. Larry Holmes.

 

:deal

 

Holmes/Mayweather Jr

 

Quartey. GOAT jab.

 

Sweet Pea, Quartey, Clay, Holmes.

Hearns had a really good jab too. Fast as hell.



edit: good to see hearns get some mentions in here. Felt he gets underrated.

 

Tommy Hearns !!

 

Get the heck out of here you newbie

 

IMO, Wlad's jab is incredibly overrated. It's slow, and he mostly just kinda' sticks it out there.

The only really good thing about it is that Wlad can sort of turn it into a power-left while it's moving, which catches his opponent off-guard. That's a great technique, one of his best weapons, but the jab itself is nothing special at all. I'll never understand why some people think it is.

 

Check this out, Ike literally caves Parks face in with his jab. Park never fought again :-(

He set the record for most jabs landed in a fight against Park I believe....ouch.

 

Winky and De La Hoya both had excellent jabs.
