    Erroll Spence Jr has the best jab in boxing followed by Haney and Bivol.

    There a handful of fighters with great jabs today, Haney is definitely 1 of them.

    Golovkin, Spence, Crawford, Stevenson, Inoue all have better jabs.

    Haney showed an enormous jab here though.........let's not take away from it.

    He uses his jab really well but compared to all the other top jabbers in the sport, Haney’s probably has the least amount of power behind it

    It's why I wear only Haney underwear. It is designed for when the best jabs poke out. They hold up, they make it all work. Aces.

    Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin's is far more impressive.

    Bivol, Inoue, Golovkin, Kovalev, Usyk, Crawford, Spence, Stevenson, Boots, Lara, Fury, Chocolatito, Fulton, Brook when he was active and obviously Haney would be all considered among the best jabbers in boxing. It's hard to pick among them for me, they all use their own style of jab very effectively.

    How is Haney`s jab beter than Kovalev`s? Haney has a weak jab, his style is bad, he`s a jab and grab fighter.

    He is in the top 3 for sure, depending on the day.

    Today he is on the top of the list.
    He is after all undisputed LW.

    Jesus wept :facepalm: He's facing shot featherfisted 39 y/o leprechauns half his size like Gamboa who he has 6'' reach advantage over

    Blown up featherfisted 126 pound leprechauns half his size like Jojo who he has as 7'' reach advantage over

    Shot inactive way naturally smaller Linares who he has a 2'' reach advantage over and who hadn't fought in 15 months

    The only prime world class fighter he's fought is Kambosos who can't deal with boxers as evidenced by the fact he was outboxed for long spells by a shot 126 pound Selby and a shot old Bey who had only fought once in three years, both of whom he won SDs over. And Haney is much naturally bigger and heavier than him and has a 3'' reach advantage over him.

    Imagine the carnage GGG's jab would inflict he was weight draining down to 147 or below to beat up on shot featherfist leprechauns

    GGG doing this to prime juiced top 3 P4P multiple weight champions who have a significant weight advantage on him, almost identical reach, when he's well past his own prime

    Spence and GGG have the best jabs IMO.

    Even at his age, GGG has one of the best jabs in boxing. It's in decline because of his reaction speed, but it's still very good. In his prime, he had the best jab in boxing by a good margin. Great timing, great accuracy and good power behind it.

    I would put GGG, Bivol, Inoue, Usyk & Spence's jab over Haney's jab. Those guys proved it consistently against high-level competition. Kovalev's jab is probably better as well, despite his decline.

    Haney's jab my get better over time, but he need to prove it against high level competition.

    Some act like the jab don't count, only power punches when referencing the GGG vs Canelo fights, even though the jab had Canelo on the run the entire first fight and had Canelo's head bouncing around like a bobblehead doll the entire 2nd fight. Wow, suddenly there is this jab acknowledgment. That being said Haney has a great jab and a real artist. Congratulations to Haney for a job well done.

    Yeah GGG leads the way in jabs for a reason. His jab is like a piston, accurate, powerful and consistent against opponents he doesn't have huge reach and weight advantages over. In fact, he's often been the one giving away weight.

    He's got a shorter reach than Haney. Allow that sink into your abode.

    And he leads the way in jab numbers at 40 plus years of age when borderline shot
