    Barker had a cracking jab before he retired. Now it's probably Groves or Brook.

    Gavin Rees had a very good Jab. Groves' Jab is excellent as is Kev mitchells.

    Frainkie Gavins is very good.

    Don't believe the hype. Froch's right hand and aggression won him that fight, not his jab. Watch it again. He got his head (and gut) jabbed off from round one.

    Yep and the problem he has is if he gets jabbed he starts waltzing around like a ****ed up camel on skates , pains me to say it as well but in his first fight with Cleverly Bellews jab for the first 6 or so rounds was working beautifully .

    In the past = Lennox Lewis
    Current = Wladimir Klitschko
    British current = James Degale

    For me anyhow

    I agree with the first three however Gavin didn't use his jab to get inside well against Skeete atall.

    Maybe not in his last few fights, and not the best but Burns had a very good jab imo.

    Our current crop of HW fighters should take a look at Frank Bruno ramrod jab.

    Totally agree with the poster that mentioned John Conteh he possessed a beautiful spiteful jab.
