    I'd say yes. GGG spams it like Viagra ads and it comes in heavy and sets up his offense.

    I don't know about that. It was certainly the best around a few years ago though, or at the very least one of

    For sure, he has had the best jab in boxing for the last 10 years and it's the weapon thst hides the fact that he is shot

    Great jabs.

    Ali
    Sanchez
    Hearns
    Louis
    Wlad
    Holmes
    Hagler
    Liston
    Kovalev
    Bowe
    Lewis
    Monzon
    DLH
    Quartey
    Foreman
    Harold Johnson
    Too Sharp
    Virgil Hill
    JMM..........................................

    GGG is a very good and highly skilled fighter but it's hard for me to rank him high in any category because his resume is so lackluster.

    Ever? I don't know.

    Recently? Probably the best, barring one or two guys that are arguable, like Kovalev. Maybe.

    Don't forget Wlad. Ward and Floyd had damn good jabs, too. So did Rigo.

    All time is a stretch for me. One of the above comments listed a whole bunch of fighters with great jabs and didn’t even get to the likes of Winky Wright, Eubank, Kessler etc.

    However, he is the best jabber in the business today and have been for a number for years imo.

    At middle weight, it's probably among the 10 best. In the history of boxing not even top 20.

    Here's the thing. Usually the great jabbers are not great punchers. GGG is an exception to the norm. GGG's prime has come and gone, but he's still on top thanks to his jab.

    He didn't use it effectively against anyone worth a damn. Not that hard to look great when you fight c+ fighters for your whole reign
