It would have been nice to see Fred Fulton's jab in action.

Holmes
Ali
Liston
Louis
W Klitschko
Something like that for me
Lewis didn't put enough oompf behind his, imo.
Carl Williams,Pinklon Thomas, Foreman ,Bowe ,Bruno . all excellent. Norton's wasn't bad either!

 

1. Larry Holmes ( Speed + Power)
2. Muhammad Ali (fastest Hw Jab)
3. Sonny Liston (Most Powerful Jab in the History of Boxing)

 

Holmes
Liston
Ali
Louis
Foreman
Lewis

 

1. Muhammad Ali..it was the fastest and in his prime and even a bit after it carried serious pop. It could slice a guy up. The best jab in history of this division. There really isn't a close second to consider. I'm no Ali nut hugger this is a simple fact.






2. Larry Holmes..he had a great jab that was modeled after Ali's. It was quick and sharp. Not as good as Ali's but Larry depended on his jab even more because he didn't possess Ali's other gifts. Blinding speed of foot and hand.

3. (Old) George Foreman...he depended on his jab when he couldn't land his power punches like he once could. He was always able to find a home for his big power jab. It was like a telephone pole and it packed power. Foreman''s jab was murder for anyone who starred in front of him. Watch him against Holyfield if you doubt this. Mike Tyson didn't want to eat this jab for breakfast.

4. Sonny Liston... Big jab that set up his power punches behind it. It knocked out teeth according to Angelo Dundee.

5. Pinklon Thomas.. power jab from a big man. He also depended on this punch quite often for an offensive weapon and a defensive weapon. It was not the kind of jab that you walk through. It could stun his opponents and bust them up in the meantime.

Honorable mention
Joe Louis Carl Williams Tony Tubbs Andrew Golota Lennox Lewis Jack Sharkey Ezzard Charles...

 

Wow!!! Holmes had a better jab than Tommy Hearns?

 

Wow, that is a really interesting question! I guess...

wow again, that's tough.

Then there's Salvador Sanchez.
