    Ike Bazooka Quartey had the best jab I've ever seen.

    It's irrefutable, Jpab's opinions being correct exist in boxing.

    I'd say Wlad.

    I like the power in Cotto's jab.

    Khan has a potentially great jab, but I don't believe it's as good as some others mentioned in this thread...yet. If he can develop it so he can use it on offense and defense, it could really be a great weapon in his arsenal. The best example of his jab at work was against Malignaggi, but again, even in that bout, he didn't/couldn't use it going backwards. Same with Maidana if I am remembering correctly.

    This is just getting ridiculous

    How can Wladimir Klitschko a man who paws at least 50% of his jabs " have the best jab " ???!!!

    Its insane to even say this , the fighter in boxing who executes his jab the most effectively is the man who " has the best jab " NO ?? ..........

    It's based on opinion.

    Yes, and how do you think he KO's so many with his right hand? Because of how he sets it up by using the jab throughout. It's how you utilise your jab as much as anything else, and he's been utilising it perfectly in recent times.

    That was a straight shot to the body. He tried to feint with the jab, but didn't bring it back, left it low and got clocked. Brilliant counter knock down.

    He utilises his reach advantage by pawing at his over matched opponents to neutralise head movement !!! ......... , this is essentially utilising his reach , not utislising his " excellent jab "

    The jab is a scoring shot , if Wladimir fought a prime Lewis he would get a jabbing clinic , and would be mercilessly outclassed in that department , why because Lewis went right through with his jab , with superb technique , not pawing
