Devastating Jabbers.

Both Ike Quartey and Sonny Liston should be up there.

 

Thomas Hearns. It shot out there as fast as a rattlesnake and did just about as much damage to skin (ever seen human skin post-rattlesnake bite?). With that kind of speed and coming at the end of a heavyweight's reach(78 inches) made it as formidable as any in history.

I remember back in 1985 when Hearns and Hagler were being measured category by category by one of the mags(The Ring, I think). They scored both men a "10" in the "Jab" dept. but added "Hearns's jab is so devastating that we were tempted to give it a 10-plus. Not only is it effective as an offensive force but is a defensive measure as well. Take away Tommy's potent right and he can still outbox you with the left and capture the decision."

 

Harry Greb would often stun opponents with his jab, opponents of which he was giving up 15-50lbs! He would stun them with his rapier like jab and they would remain stunned long enough to navigate his way inside, blind in one eye and half blind in the other, then unleash a dazzling flurry.

Now tell me what modern fighter could stun a 15-50lbs more fighter with a jab? And i want evidence, no film, i want to see it written on paper

 

Oscar De La Hoya had a very potent jab. See how bulls like Vargas and Mayorga were humbled by it

 

The Winky Wright jab in the Trinidad fight.

 

Carlos Monzon had a very heavy jab.
Winky Wright.
Dariusz Michaelchewski.

 

Holmes has an incredible jab.
Wlad can win fights with his jab.
Listons jab can tear your head off.

 

:thumbsup Monzons jab was great he would snap heads back .

 

Hearns is the first guy that springs to mind. Conteh as well.
Tyson when he bothered to use it could surprise some people.

 

Pinklon Thomas showed an exceptional left jab in beating Tim Witherspoon..an almost Liston-like jab.

 

Felix Sturm.

 

Yeah, the best kind of evidence is what's written on paper...why mess around with any other kind?

 

Monzon's jab was excellent..kind of hypnotic...he would follow it with the right at an opportune time.

 

Joe Louis

Sonny Liston

Larry Holmes
