    There's no questioning how great his jab is, and the right hand speaks for itself. As far as power, speed, straightness, and athleticism are involved, does any boxer top Wlad's 1-2?

    Lennox Lewis had a better one.

    Ask Chagaev, dropped in round 1 by the Wlad 1-2 for the first time in his 26-0 career.

    Please name a boxer with a better 1-2.

    Wlad easily has the best jab in boxing today, and is in the top 3 of all time as far as the jab goes. His straight right from a technical standpoint is almost flawless. Add in a tremendous amount of power and I see it being very hard to find a boxer with a better 1-2.

    get your mouth from around Wlads nutsac for a minute


    top 3 jab of all time ?

    Larry Holmes , Sonny Liston , Joe Louis and Muhamad Ali - hell , even Pinklon Thomas probably had a snappier jab , lennox lewis had a better jab than wlad .

    Hearns is the best mention so far.

    Lennox had a great 1-2, but he looped his right hand slightly more when throwing a straight right. Also his jab was lesser than Wlad's.
