    He has a great jab. Not as stiff as Cotto's though.

    It's up there. Wlad, Froch, GGG and Cotto also have good, hard jabs.

    Fine jab. Perhaps the best at welter right now, since Marquez and Mayweather (both vastly superior to Brook in every department, including the jab when they put their minds to it) tend not to rely on it as their bread and butter the way he does.

    If they didn't keep it sheathed often enough to be a tool so inconsequential as to rarely mention, he would rate as third best jab but he might just get the high spot by default since they do minimize their use of it.

    note: I'm not counting Mayweather's oft-employed stay-put/balance-disrupting jab on the belly, since that wouldn't be apples-to-apples comparison with the conventional straight-out high left jab.

    Nah, that's Wlad but Brooks close. :rofl

    Brook did show an impressive game though, gotta give him props.

    Marquez is not 'vastly superior' to Brook in every department besides the jab. Actually he's inferior in many departments.

    Neither is Floyd at this stage in his career
