Five best heavyweight left jabs

Switch Holmes and Liston and I agree. We've spoken about this at length but Holmes' jab gets overrated for reasons I've stated above. Top 5 jab for sure but GOAT jab as some have here is a stretch. I'll take Ali, and Liston's jab in a heart-beat and I'll tentatively take Foreman's when he bothers to employ it.

 

People could put the next three after Ali in any order and i wouldn't have a problem with it. Strong arguments can be made for all of them. Heck, you could mount some sort of argument Louis might even challenge for top honours. Having to preordain Foremans jab with "when he bothers to employ it" goes against making him top 5 somewhat.

 

Holmes
Liston
Ali
Lennox
Foreman

I see people say Joe Louis, and I don't understand. From what I saw he had a good jab but I don't see it as superior to the other 5 as in I don't see him "outjabbing" them in a fight, maybe I'm missing something

 

1. Holmes
2. Liston
3. Lewis

 

I see Golota absolutely shut down and out jab Bowe so he loses some brownie points for that.

Ali
Liston
Louis
