My thoughts exactly. It's his jab that takes fighters out of their game and sets up his own heavy shots.
All the fighters mentioned had a good jab but none dictated the pace of the fight as much as Wladimir's. He has speed & power as well as hooking off of it better than any HW I recall. Lewis was close but Wlad's is better IMO.
Some of the fighters here are or was based on the jab. It wasn't THE weapon of DLH but when he used it in the first part of his career it was a very important weapon. Of course the Winky and the Lennox jabs are trademarks.
Under rated jab... Michael Moorer , his converted southpaw stance allowed him the luxury of a very compact , powerful and fast jab..
