    What fighters do you think had the greatest Jabs ever?
    I'll list some of mine

    Fighting Harada
    Larry Holmes
    Sonny Liston
    Harold Johnson
    Joe Gans
    Roberto Duran
    Benny Leonard
    John L Sullivan (more of a straight/jolt really)

    Any others?

    Lots of guys had great jabs.... but a couple of under the radar ones I have watched recently.

    Joey Olivio
    Howard Winstone

    Probably not great but going through his fights recently Tony Lopez's was very underrated.

    Loma`s jab is great and it`s constant, it drwas counters brilliantly and makes opponents feel they are always under attack.

    Great Post.
    Peerless Jim is a great shout.
    I believe he wrote a book called 'The straight left and how to cultivate it'.
