    Who were the top 5 jabbers at heavyweight of all time? Do fans disagree with any of the fighters that feature on this vid?

    Holmes
    Can't argue with this one. Probably would flip Lewis and Klitchko.

    He didn`t move good while jabbing like li did though, meaning his jab could be countered often.

    Gotta work Pinklon in there somewhere, but Larry Holmes has the best jab I’ve seen probably in any weight class.

    Michael Spinks had a short stint at heavy but adding his work at 175 he deserves at least honorable mention.

    For the the top 2 are definitely switchable and are cleary 1&2 and then afterwards the other 3 are also switchable
