Chavez. Sahaphrom. Duran. Holyfield (Lewis 2 in particular). Harada (since he would overwhelm you with his own). Napoles. Canzoneri. Antonio Gomez (vs Shoji Saizo). Chan Hee Park (vs ATG pure Boxer Miguel Canto, who himself was a master at taking away bigger opponents weapons and establishing his shorter jab as dominant). Qawi. These popped into my head immediately.
Roy Jones Jr. His father‘ s way of teaching (and he got plenty of other coaching input as he rose the amateur and then pro ranks) was that all your offense came off the opponent’s jab. We fought a lot of RJSr. fighters when I was coaching amateurs and figured that out by watching them so I’d always have my guys feint the jab and try to run the into the power hand. But you couldn’t do anything with them jabbing if they’d been with Roy Sr. for a while.
Qawi, Tyson, Norton, JCC snr, George Foreman, Duran, Armstrong, Smokin Joe, Archie Moore... It goes on and on as the most prevalent punch in the sport it’s no wonder so many work on crippling it...
