    Excellent thread! Very underrated jab. Holme's or Ali's controlled the tempo and scored points. Foreman's was an actual power punch.

    One of the commentators in I think it was the chuvalo fight said that he thinks foreman has the best jab since Louis, very different type of jab than Ali, foreman's jab wasn't really much of a set up punch he threw it to hurt you, he snapped alot of guys head's back with it like they just took a cross.

    It certainly was not.

    Frazier who was hard to hit was pummeled and beaten down by Foremans jab.

    Sam Peter was easy to hit and Wlad struggled badly to fend him off with the jab.

    Don't believe me? Here's proof

    I tweeted him and asked him to explain the mechanics of his jab and this was his response:

    What George leaves out is that he is also a genetic freak. That's part of it too
