    Usually elite fighter has good or great jab and uses it against his opponents. However, there were top-level fighters who didn't have a good jab.

    Which fighters would you name as your best examples?

    Homicide Hank, Frazier, Jones could be quit neglectful, Mosley could be average at times.

    Probably largely due to his lack of reach.

    Mugabi. I always liked his quote that "only weak fighters use jabs"

    Mugabi was a hell of a specimen. If he never ran into Big Bad Hagler, who knows how his career would have panned out. I still believe Hagler broke him as a fighter.
