    What were some fights where a fighter took away his opponent's jab?

    I'm primarily looking for fights where a fighter kept countering his opponent's jab.

    Hopkins-Pavlik and Hopkins-Trinidad jump to mind.

    You can actually have success against Mayweather working behind a strong jab, Cotto especially when he doubled it up and used it like a piston really confused him.

    Ward vs Froch. Froch's jab was counter fodder almost every time he threw it.

    Wlad was shorter than Wach and before the fight (like before this one with Fury), everyone was saying Wach had the reach, and needed to use his jab to dominate Wlad. Every time he attempted to use his jab, he missed and Wlad jabbed back with accurate menace. The shorter fighter landed (hard) jabs at will. Same thing will happen to Fury

    If Floyd gets your timing down he pull counters the jab very well....but like someone said....Cotto while he did get countered a couple times it didn't stop him from continuing to throw it which ultimately helped him win some rounds and make the fight very competitive. Cotto also doesn't throw 'feeler' jabs...Floyd feast off those.

    Leewylie's breakdown of the first Schmeling vs Louis fight is a perfect example.

    Chris Eubank Sr against rangey guys like Rocchigiani, Watson, Malinga; subtle head slips.
