    Many sites rate Holmes and Klitschko as having the best jabs in history of heavyweight boxing, but who had a better jab?

    Technically Larry Holmes, but Klitchko is fking 6'6 and you can't dunk his jab.

    larrys wins fights.

    wlads dismantles you.

    larrys was quicker and he would rack up points with that alone.

    wlads is stronger, you dont want to attack anymore.

    But they both very good. You could argue that Wlad's is the 2nd best of all time.

    Holmes.

    Or Wilder and shot Ray Austin, but only when fighting Stiverne.

    You really couldn't.

    Ive seen Mike Tyson use a better jab than Wlad and he wasn't known as a great jabber. Holyfield as well.

    Coming forward , breaking through guys defensive barriers , behind a piston like jab takes a far greater amount of jabbing skill than stiff arming small guys who come forward in straight lines.

    Wlads jab is over rated. Its not even his best punch.

    Holmes. But Wladimir was better in several departments.

    Larry. I like Klitschko's hook off the jab though.

    i don't see how wlads jab is so good? sure its powerful when he's not pawing it but the man is 6 6 and outweighs his opponents by 25 lbs on average.
