    I was particularly impressed with Mosley's jab in the first De La Hoya fight.

    Recently Winky Wright comes to mind. Wladimir obviously. Joppy was really busy with his jab as well. DLH's jab become one of his best weapons, in the later part of this career.

    Cotto has a nice jab (well I think he does).

    Yep Agreed and Margarito he stabbed jabs to the chest he's a top guy at jabbing on his day. Very stiff and fast when he's on form.

    I agree just look at what he did to Clottey in first round. Accurate and sharp. He's very smart with his jab he lurks at range and times it so well.

    I'm not sure if you know this but Cotto is actually left handed. Evangelista wanted him to fight orthodox so the jab and left hook would be more potent:good.

    Considering the jab is the most important punch in boxing there aren't too many top class jabbers today. I looked through the divisions, there are like one or two per division.

    I did know about Miguel being left handed but never knew about his uncle wanting him orthodox :good how wromg his uncle was :lol:

    It's really frustrating i hear a lot of commentators mention it and it's true as you say hardly any use it to perfection. I don't know if they don't work on it or they get caught up in the tactics....alot of fighters flick it out which is really dangerous. It seems to be a dying skill....very strange....

    Rafael Marquez has a shout in terms of current fighters. Especially the power he gets on it.
