    :lol: That's loco!

    Golovkin was effective using his jab against a plodder like Lemieux, who has no jab to speak of. :rofl
    Lara wins the battle of Jabs between he and Golovkin, and Lara's jab isn't as good as Ward's.

    Honestly I can think of plenty of fighters who I would say have superior jabs to Ward, Austin Trout for starters.

    Actually Tyson Fury has the best jab in boxing. If Andre Ward thinks otherwise and wants to claim a big victory over Carl Froch how about he comes to the UK fights Tyson Fury? I dont think that is gonna happen

    Ward has a terrific jab. He has displayed this in the 3 fights he has had in the last 4 years.

    Honestly he has a great jab and great inside short left hook. Would have been interesting to see how he would have dominated Froch if his right hand was not injured in the Froch fight.

    Ward's overall timing is (was) impeccable and in general his technique polished - outside of those general characteristics his jab doesn't stand out specifically to me.

    EDIT: Forgot why I responded. Yeah. Lara ain't outjabbing GGG if they get into a jabbing contest. That's just my opinion btw, just to save you the effort of telling me how GGG ain't fought anyone worth a ****.

    Cotto's jab is much better.

    The only jabs Ward is capable of throwing are on social media.

    :lol: I don't believe I have to say GGG hasn't fought anyone. It's like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. It's a simple fact.

    Lara's jab is his business. It's what wins him fights and it's a basic trait of the Cuban school of boxing. Rigo, Lara, and Ortis all have solid jabs, but Ward's is better due to the versatility of Ward's left arm. An arm so versatile, it allowed Ward to win the Super 6 with one left arm using left jabs, uppercuts and hooks.

    Kovalev says the Koavlev-Ward fight is one he badly wants. Golovkin says the Ward-Golovkin fight is one he defintely doesn't want.
    Ward will out jab both Kovalev and Golovkin, although after beating Kovalev, Golovkin's name alongside Ward's won't be mentioned anymore.
    Once Ward defeats Kovalev, no body in their right mind will believe that Golvkin has a chance against Ward.

    :lol: GTFOH!!!

    Cotto has a solid jab but not as effective as Ward, or even Khan.
    Cotto's jab is much better than a broke bloke like David Haye though. :lol:

    Ohhh yes it does, if you have nothing on your jab it's going to be very difficult agains tax top notch fighters, you don't have to come close to hurting or even stunning anyone, but a disruptive jab let's you do so much more with it

    Yeah. Like I said. Lara ain't outjabbing Golovkin if it comes to a jabbing contest.

    Ward was (and I hope still is) an exceptional fighter, I really look forward to seeing how he matches up with Kovalev, who's pretty handy with the jab himself and a challenge greater than anyone Ward faced in the S6.

    Since the majority of people really clamouring for a Golovkin - Ward fight were those who opined that Golovkin didn't have a chance anyway, the second part of your post is somewhat redundant though.
