    Holmes
    Liston
    Ali

    Tier 2

    Wlad
    Lewis (when he ****ing used it)
    Louis

    Tier 3

    Joe Louis had the best jab.

    Holmes would probably be number 2.

    Pretty close to the way I see it . . . i put Louis in tier 1 Behind Ali. I would Put Foreman in teir 2 In front of Lewis then Wlad. Wlad uses it more than Lewis but Lewis was a better weapon

    Definitely Wlad and Holmes. I'm in doubt between Ali and Liston for third. Can I count Ali's fleet feet in getting into position? How about Liston's heavy hands? So difficult to single out the jab from the other attributes.

    Wlad, Holmes and Liston.

    1. Lennox Lewis
    2. Wladimir Klitschko
    3. Sonny Liston
    4. Larry Holmes

    There's not much difference. The order could be changed.

    Tyson's the most underrated jab.

    He gets penalized for having short arms, I guess.

    i wanted to include him but he lacked versatility...it was primarily a way for him to work his way. but it was damn fast and he doubled it up brilliantly

    Andrew Golota outjabbed Bowe with ease.
    And in the second fight Bowe was in shape.

    But Golota was a monster at times, especially his jab
