    I know Tyson used the jab effectively against Tucker, but I'm struggling to think of other fights were that happened.

    so far:
    Tyson-Tucker
    Witherspoon-Holmes

    Almost every Qawi fight, bar the Michael Spinks one.

    Emile Griffith often outjabbed bigger opponents, to a lesser extent Hagler did too.

    To tell the truth its been a while since I've seen any Qawi fights. I've been planning on watching Qawi-Holyfield again for a long time.
    Im not familiar with him. How would you describe his style?

    Hagler had very long arms for his height. I was thinking more of guys with shorter arms that their opponents. I remember watching the Wlad-Haye and noticing that Haye was able to jab with the much bigger Wlad.

    It's been a while since I seen that fight. I do remember Floyd being able to land counter rights over Oscar's jabs though. Dundee said that the reach difference was not that important if the fighter has solid footwork.

    Griffith had a beautiful, elegant style, a pure boxer with a fantastic jab (one of the best Ive ever seen)

    In regards to the TS how about Lewis-Mercer or Quartey-Forrest?

    Haye has long arms too - possibly longer than Wlad.

    Nice one. I completely forgot about that fight. A very underrated performance from Mercer. I think he also out-jabbed Whitherspoon.

    doing the boxrec thing:

    Haye: 78″
    Wlad: 81″

    I noticed during the fight Haye was able to jab Wlad to his head and body and trade with him during round 5.

    Roberto Duran-Iran Barkley.

    Masterpiece by an aging legend.
