    Not going to make a poll as there is too many boxers and I won't cover them all.
    But who's got the best jab in the business today?

    I personally am split between khan and wlad.
    Wlad has had a great jab for some time and has used it to dominate many oponents.
    But I would say khans jab in the fight vs malanaggi was the thing of beauty. Cotto taking the bronze!
    1) khan
    2) wlad
    3) cotto

    I think Wlad has the best jab in the business today. He really puts some pop in it and looks to hurt people whereas some just plod it.

    Wlad clearly has the best jab in the sport (an ATG jab at that).
    Khan has a great jab, but he needs to learn to use it off the backfoot to keep his opponent from steamrolling him.
    Cotto has a very powerful jab.

    If I had to put them in order, I'd have...

    1. Wlad.
    2. Cotto.
    3. Khan...we have only seen Khan use his jab effectively in one bout (from what I can remember) against Malignaggi.

    SNV - I mean, he keeps plodding away with it, and tees up those lovely over hand rights :)

    I liked Golota's jabbing tho, he was a good jabber nonetheless.

    SNV doesn't count in these polls.
    He's godlike and can't be compared to mere mortals.

    Mayweather - uses it allot more now hes aged and very effective, fast and accurate
    Andre Ward - heavy and fast

    Good shout on Floyd. Dirrells is also very good, but not as thudding as the top jabs.

    Ward's is not a heavy jab, he is not even a hard hitter.
