    Who was the best at neutralizing his opponent's jab?

    Specifically, I'm talking about fighters who countered their opponents' jabs.

    Roy Jones Jr. I think. That left hook he always caught people with while they were jabbing was a thing of beauty.

    And THAT two piece he gave Reggie Johnson as Johnson was jabbing....possibly my favorite sequence in all of boxing.

    Tarver's jab gave Roy a little trouble.

    Ricky Hatton at least against Kostya was excellent. Took the jab and straight right away (however unorthodox).

    Lomachenko best at everything offense and defense. Nichols has a great way of taking away jab with a check jab

    Chris Eubank was tremendous at slipping jabs by a slight fraction (Watson, Malinga and Rocchigiani, renowned jabbers, couldn't land any at all).
