Death By 1000 jabs.

Whenever I think of a jab, it's this guy I picture.

 

I wonder what his career would have been like if he had been more conservative and concentrated more on his jab and threw less power punches?! I'm especially thinking of Hagler and Barkley.

 

Holmes.Pep.Driscoll.Winstone.Hill.Loughran.C Williams.Maxim.

 

Numero Uno.

 

Would've beat Barkley, maybe, but Hagler and Leonard would have always forced the fight and then he would always have to fight to stop the tide.

If he had the discipline and composure to stick to jab and move, he likely ends up being seen as a genuine rival to SRR's WW greatness H2H. Part of what made Tommy great was also one of his biggest vulnerabilities.

 

Here's another master

Miguel Canto probably has won actual fights with just his jab.

 

Holmes, Ali, Wlad, Leonard, Lewis, Usyk, Zhang and many other.

 

Tyson Fury with his size, reflexes and reach would probably be a favorite to win a lot off jab-offs.

 

Ask Ossie OcCasio about Larry Holmes's jab . Lol

 

Rigondeaux could've beaten contenders using just footwork and a jab.

 

I'd not write off Bruno...and I'd definitely have Dubois in a battle of heavyweight jabs...

 

Maske!

 

Solid choice. I was going to say Whitaker, for its great accuracy and versatility but this is 'death' by 1000 jabs, so Tommy is probably a better choice.

 

Got to go with the best jab I’ve ever seen. Joe Louis’.
