    Sonny Liston, Ike Quartey, Thomas Hearns, Bob Foster, Riddick Bowe, Winky Wright, Pernell Whitaker, Sumbu Kalambay, Fighting Harada, GGG need to be on that list.

    Hearns is the one that impressed me the most. Granted, good jab whilst fighting tall doesn't automatically translate to a good left hand when fighting short.

    In order of top 3:

    Hagler
    Holmes
    Pre sanctioned Ali

    Also, it is a near travesty that Ike Quartey and Tommy Hearns aren't on this list, both of them had jabs that were superior to some of the guys on this list.

    GGG should be there, but Holmes is my choice. Sharp, accurate & mobile, very underrated IMO...

    Not saying it's the best but it's excellent and definitely one of the most powerful and destructive
