    Winky Wright vs Tito Trinadad.

    How Winky was able to fire off his jab and pick apart Tito was a thing of beauty!

    Best example is Winky Wright vs Tito Trinidad Winky made that a dominate, lopsided, land-slide fight only using his jab he completely nullified Tito's entire arsenol with it and won every single round convincingly

    The jab is perhaps my favourite punch.

    Whitaker-Nelson comes to mind beautiful use of the jab there, Winky versus Trinidad is another example that comes to mind, completely outclassed Tito with the jab. As you mention the jab Barrera used against Hamed was something impressive, Hamed's head was snapping back all night. de la Hoya used his jab very well against Vargas, those jabs looked snappy and painful.

    De La Hoya against Vargas. Crisp, consistent jab that never let Fernando get his feet set or launch an on-balance attack.

    Wright vs. Tito -- an absolute clinic.

    I don't view Floyd Mayweather as a great exponent of the jab at all, I'm very surprised he is being mentioned in this thread. He has a nice, sharp jab which he seldom uses, but in no way has he ever proven to be as proficient with it as say a Pernell Whitaker or a Larry Holmes, or even a Winky Wright.

    It seems "Floyd" is the answer to pretty much every question that can ever be asked on the General Forum.

    Carlos Monzon had maybe the most dominant jab I've ever seen.

    I agree one of the best boxing clinics of this era. Very underrated.

    Any Ken Buchanan winning effort is worth your while. Ken has one of the best jabs I've ever seen - sharp, accurate, persistent, hard to read, and he throws it from a variety of set ranges. Most of all it's got superb variety, it's impossible to read. These are the best jabs.
