    Hagler. Once Marvin finds his range, he can tear an opponents head off.

    Winky used it alot and it was a major weapon in his arsenal but Pea always used it and was more effective with it against higher level competition and he could incorporate it in different ways as well.
    Haglers was more physically powerful and did more damage physically to his opponents and when Hagler was coming up he had a very powerful jab.

    I'd say Winky for using it as his main weapon almost all the time.
    Pea for using it in different ways and using it successfully against elite competition.
    Hagler use of it as a punishing punch.

    whitaker not even close. I did rate winky wrights the best since whitaker. Michael spinks was the best jab before whitaker.

    Very good question. I’m leaning towards Pernell as the slightly better boxer of the three men, but not by any real margin
