    Ali. super duper fast with it, he could throw it from the shoulder or from the hip equally well, and he could use it a rangefinder, a blinder or as a stick. Awesome jab.

    Surprised not one has mentioned Hearns ....

    He had an 82' reach at 147 and a Lazer like accurate jab...it would set up that devastating right time and time again..

    Best ever? Not sure, I would have to say Ali's was one of the most effective ever.

    How about relatively short guys with great jabs?

    Watch, one of the robot fans are gonna say Klit. But for me, it has to be Hearns.

    Apollo Creed. He ate Balboa up with that jab.

    today - Cotto, Martinez, Wlad, Dzinziruk, Dawson

    all time - Hearns, Holmes, Tyson, Liston, Camacho

    actually...swap out Dzinziruk for Marquez, forgot about his jab

    Bull****, Balboa was way open to it, practically begging to be hit. Creed's jab couldn't keep Drago away.

    How would Creed's jab prove against Lang though?

    Ali had the overall best jab. Hearns had probably the most damaging jab though.
