    Any opinion's on who has the best Southpaw jab in the game today. I think coming up against a good southpaw jabber would be enough to scare any fighter out of signing a contract, let alone a fighting an ATG jabber like Whitaker or Hagler.

    That being said I think there is something lacking in the jabbing quality of some of todays southpaws (Winky is beyond done). The two that come to mind for me are Guerrero's jab and Dawson's jab, that being said I'm not exactly aroused by either.

    Opinions?

    Most southpaws only use their jab to control distance and set up other punches. I've yet to see a southpaw rip open a cut on the face via jab.

    My vote goes towards this Asian southpaw. He fights like a Slick Black fighter.

    He even triples the jab sometimes.

    Probably Guerrero for me since it seems more damaging than Dawson.

    I'm quite the fan of Nishioka. His lead left is very nice indeed.

    For me the G.O.A.T southpaw jab, he used it as his main weapon, not like a regular southpaw who relies more on a right hook, the jab is just used to create distance or set up a straight left.
