Best jab in the current HW division?

Joshua's Jab was very good in the Klitschko fight. Wlad usually jabbed his opponents to death but Joshua began to jab his jab with some success. Prime Pulev I would say has best one but right now not sure what he has left since the Wlad destruction

 

Tyson Fury by a long way

None of the others in the top 10 have a great jab.

 

Tyson Fury is the best.

Just look Chisora and compare him to both Pulev and Fury.

 

Pulev.

It's about all the elite attributes he's got, so let's give him credit for that much

 

Fury would probably out jab Pulev if they fought, the difference would be Fury's movement and range. But take away Fury's reach and movement and I think Pulev would out jab Fury. We are talking about the jab alone not Fury's superior ability to control range with his combination of jab, size and movement.

 

the division is lacking a good jabber at the moment

parkers is the fastest / but there is nothing on it / when ruiz landed his jab it made parker reset /

that is what a good jab is a dominating punch that controls the fight or sets up offense.

pulevs jab is a point scorer but not a thing of beauty
i mark him down for having the weight when he throws it on the back foot / head pulled back
the right hand is barely thrown behind it.
he relys on opponents coming on to him to land it effectivley./used to be a much more easy on the eye fighter but has gone saftey first after the klitchko loss.


joshuas is heavy but goes out the window as the fight goes on.

wilders is fast but he was outjabbed by spilzka and washington / putting doubts in my mind can it land on anything but a stationary target

ortiz uses his jab to fake and draw leads or uses it to parry incoming and then counter/ this is skillful and takes experience but the jab itself is pretty non exsistent

fury against klitchko won the fight on a jab scorring / but the punch count in this fight was dreadful and it was his feints/mindgames/ / movement that was the key to him/

povetkin he is a get in close and hook fighter

ruiz jnr has a very good fast jab / its his heaviest punch / but because he is only short its not going to be that effective v taller fighters.

i like millers jab / he holds his left low / but he snaps out the jab heavy handed and its pretty effective as he comes forward with it and commits and he is so strong and in your face its hard to block his jab as it comes from low down.

breazeale at 6.7 a jab should be a weapon but he is too slow of hand and foot .

best from that lot/ my own preference is for ruiz jnr / its fast/hard and heavy / just he is missing in action and i read he is losing loads of weight / i have called him a fat **** / but IMO he is one of those fighters who it suits to be overweight.
