    1 - Liston
    2 - Foreman
    3 - Louis
    4 - Wladimir
    5 - Lewis

    These were the hardest jabs at HW great for me.

    However, the question is basically meaningless. Wlad can be put above Lewis as common opponents agree that his jab is slightly harder. But for the other stuff, who knows? I'm guessing, same as everyone else.

    Liston broke orbital bones with his jab. Teak-tough Joe Bugner, who worked as sparring partner with Sonny, claimed he KO'd guys with single jabs, further claimed that Sonny's was the hardest jab he ever took.

    He's on the list no matter what the children say.

    He also used much smaller gloves and fought with the old school less padded ones.He broke Wepners cheek?Yea the same Wepner who was practically the worst fighter of the 70's and cut by just looking at him hard.Liston also fought guys mainly of 190 pounds in his prime.does that mean he shouldn't be on anyones list? No because his technique and power are still there ,you just don't get it that the guys i have on my list exceed him in the jab department where I consider the jab a better jab to have.Wlad k.od guys in sparring with jabs who had head gear on and he was wearing 20 ounce gloves,whats your point? :smoke


    The fact is Mcgrain and apollack were the only ones that did a list as well ,and they were decent.Maybe you should do one and put Conn in there,he outjabbed Louis for ONE fight didn't he? :lol:

    Buster Douglas and Frank Bruno had very decent jabs.
