    Has to be Forrest against Mosley , as Vernon put it , to beat a guy with speed you need to use the jab, and he jabbed Mosley's head off all night.

    Audley Harrison.

    Is there a better jab?

    The one he threw vs David Haye was pretty decent.

    See this is what pisses me off about Floyd fans.

    If you said right hand then yes.

    Floyd barley throws a Jab.

    Wlad in every recent fight. Not only does it keep people off and set up combos, it's one of those jabs that actually hurts people. He also turns it into a left hook very nicely.

    Andrew Golota versus Riddick Bowe, both I and II - that jab was lethal. At his height, Golota had a spectacular jab - straight, hard, crisp and accurate.

    Dzinziruk-Dawson.

    With that performance his fanbase on ESB easily quadrupled (at least). Of course, he hadn't had much exposure for most fans up to that point.

    Wright against Mosley(especially the first fight) and pretty much in most of his fights.

    Marlon Starling had a good jab too.

    Joe Louis had a hard jab.

    Morales' jab was effective when he wanted to use it.

    A recent example is Amir Khan busting Paulie up with his jab.

    I'm a big Tyson fan but you have to give credit to Douglas as he put on a clinic. Great use of the jab in that fight by Douglas.

    Holmes, Holmes, Holmes...and probably a few other guys as well.
