    I know that Golovkin and Kovalev are the obvious choices as both guys raped Clenelo w/ it, but hear me out.

    Golovkin and Kovalev both have very effective, accurate, and heavy jabs. Inoue's jabs are also very effective, accurate, and heavy. But they're also fast and crispy (the snap that Manny P is renown for). Often times they look like power shots.

    Lomachenko also has a wonderful jab, but it's more of a distraction tool and range finder. Lomachenko won't **** you up with the jab.

    So imo, Inoue has the best jab in boxing.

    Other honorable mentions:

    Bivol
    Crawford (touch jab)
    Pacquiao (pawing and parrying and picking off the opponent's punches)

    Very good jab, but yet to see it take over a fight since his other abilities are so much more renowned.

    It's a dominant weapon in his arsenal. He's an all action fighter that's always on the hunt for the KO, so he wouldn't take over a fight with his jab because he wouldn't even want to.

    When you have the invincible aura psychological edge going on, the standard jab becomes a destructive weapon mainly due the frequency of landing, Ian Gardner and Chad Dawson had great Jabs, but they lacked the invincible aura.

    Ike Quartey jab is his father and mother, any great jab will no longer be perfect once compared to Ike Quartey
