Greatest Jab ever

Great post.

 

What Canto fight shows him at his best with the jab?

 

Thanks boss.

 

Holmes
Everyone takes a back seat

 

Of the heavies I would agree.

 

I think Larry would the consensus choice, certainly among the heavyweights but amongst other noted heavyweight jabbers, I’ve always been a big admirer of Pinklon Thomas’s jab. Maybe not as quick a jab as the likes of Holmes and Ali but in regards to how heavy hitting a jab it was, at his best, I think it ranks up with the best that I’ve seen.

Like many have already posted, Larry Holmes.

Ali
Foster
Hagler
Hearns
SRR
Whitaker
Arguello
Pedroza
Harada

Some of the top jabs that come to mind without much thinking. Foster's jab against Hank was brutal.

 

Great mention on WW

 

The jab of comeback foreman. Name a man who it didn't stop coming forward..

 

I agree Liston had the best jab for a HW (Ali and Holmes follow respectively) but I admittedly don't watch any other divisions other than heavy so I can't tell you if people from other divisions surpass him P4P.

 

I have his jab as the best of any weight class in history. Just my opinion

 

Vernon Forrest had an excellent jab, often forgotten about, big admirer of his work off the jab.

 

Howard Winstone.
