    Eubank was playing it up for the camera to appear humble. He had the best stepping double jab I've seen.

    Ehh tough list to make, especially given the multiple interpretations of what makes a "great" jab. Hearns, B. Leonard, Loughran & Canto are at the top imo, with guys like Holmes, Harada, Foster, Oba, Ali, M. Spinks, Liston & Pep being sensible options to round off a top 10.

    Tommy Hearns
    Miguel Canto
    Tommy Loughran
    Benny Leonard
    Larry Holmes
    Michael Spinks
    Muhammad Ali
    Bob Foster
    Fighting Harada
    Sonny Liston

    I feel like I'm missing so many guys, but these are the ones who I've narrowed it down to.

    Can I get some Michael Moorer with a side of Junior Jones? Puts some poison in there at 122.

    Joey Olivo

    (Myung Woo Yuh) :
    BEST JAB
    Joey Olivo: His jabs were not so fast but very accurate, and he had a good sense of distance. Therefore, it was very difficult to close the distance against him.

    (Hilario Zapata):
    BEST JAB

    Joey Olivo: Joey Olivo had an advantage in reach over me and he gave me trouble in the early rounds because it’s not only the reach; he knew how to use his jab. It took me a couple of rounds to solve the situation and counter-punch the jab of Joey Olivo.

    Ali gets overrated in some areas but he gets overlooked when it comes to his jab. It was the best I've seen in any division.

    Let's not forget Sumbu Kalambay. Great jab. Helped him beat a guy like Mike McCallum.
