    Fury.

    Usyk not in the list? He is a master at getting his southpaw jab over and around an orthodox jab.

    Povetkin is retired and should be removed.

    Maybe Wallin gets a shout. He seems to always leave his opponents marked up. I call him "Razor Wallin."

    Fury by far

    Throws it 50 different ways. Moving forwards, Backwards, Laterally. Doubles, Triples. Flick, Stiff arms, From high guard, From the waist. Southpaw Orthodox.

    Finally showed his final form on it with his power stiff arm jab against Wilder from the waist. I've never seen him throw it with such effect and weight behind it in his entire career and for him to turn up with more tricks is really remarkable. Unbelievably versatile.

    On this list, Pulev and Fury, I’ll vote for Pulev to be a contrarian. But in reality Yoka and Usyk have super strong arguments too. Yoka might have the best since Wlad.

    If it's prime for prime Pulev probably has the best jab, Klitschko himself said it. But now ? Probably Fury, actually no it is Fury

    Fury has the best jab in the division, then I’d pick the JUGGERNAUT joey Joyce followed by the BRUTHA from behind the iron curtain.

    Fury and Pulev. 3rd is a toss up, maybe Joyce.

    Probably Pulev edges it. Then it's between Usyk, Joyce and AJ.

    Fury jab seems more a flick out exactly like Hughie's and doesn't carry the power or snap like the rest mentioned above.

    Well, depends how you rate a jab.

    From current active HW boxers I think A.J does have better " power jab " than Usyk while in overall Usyk jabs better cos his productivity and angles. A jab from A.J might hurt far more than Usyk's jab.
    Joyce is good and powerful but slow and predictable when he is doing jabbing.


    From Klits era I think that Pulev not Klits, then Pulev was fresh, something 30-33 y.o and this was damn cool game there.

    Tyson Fury greatest jabber since Larry Holmes

    Fury can flick his jab & can throw a solid jab. Mix in some feints and opponents struggle to time him

    SWEET SCIENCE
