    After watching Shakur utilize his jab against Teo to great effect , I thought about the best jabs in boxing. my list would be in no particular order Stevenson, Haney, Usyk, Hitchins, and Bivol.

    Inoue, shakur are the only AAA jabs I can think of, like proper elite level jabs.

    I think probably Stevenson and Usyk.

    Inoue is more of a complete wrecking machine and Bivol is just an incredible all-rounder that does the basics exceptionally well.

    oleksander usyk can use his jab to control distance and also he can step in with it and hurt you, very versatile. terence crawford can do that too

    Roachs jab is really really good but I don't know if I would call it elite.

    That mean southpaw advantage. Nasty little southpaws.

    Bonus points if it's not a southpaw jab!

    He may have piled on the pounds and walking around in suits but still Golovkin number one, he hasn’t officially retired yet!
