    I haven't seen that fight since it aired but compubox had Cotto landing a total of 30 jabs at a 17% connect rate, for whatever that's worth.

    Right!? Depending on the context - Apples and Oranges Mate!

    I will mention Tyson and Frazier when speaking about the Jab, or lack there of... But then again when talking about these 2 they didn't really need it did they?

    Also maybe mention Marciano and Foreman. Big George had a powerful jab when it was effective early in fights,,,just not a punch he could rely on IMO...
