Most punishing jabs

Lennox Lewis and Wladimir are both skilled, hard jabbers who could dictate an entire fight with the jab alone.

 

Liston, Holmes, Foreman, Louis, Foster, Hagler for starters.

 

I think I remember Foreman knocking a guy down with a jab in one of his comeback fights.

 

1935-1938 Joe Louis

Others:

Buchanan, Whitaker, Golovkin, H Johnson, Liston, Tunney, Hearns, W Klitschko, Lewis, Foster, Holmes, Quartey, Wright, P Thomas, Ward,

 

Breland had a hard long jab. Eubank Sr had a stiff jab.

Off the top of my head.
I'll add in Joe Jeanette.
These are not in any order except for Holmes. Holmes is no. 1 for me. That will never change and hasnt.

 

Miguel cotto

 

A guy not mentioned yet is Qawi. Especially at lh. Not so much cruiser but at lh when he was on his run was a real nice stiff jab right down the pipe.

 

His timing and distance was great

 

I've seen both Holmes and Buster Douglas score clean knockdowns with the jab alone... Holmes against Ocassio and Douglas against Mike Williams, I think his name was.

 

An underrated jab by an underrated fighter was from a Kronk product named Duane Thomas. He fizzled sort of early, but had a couple of nice wins over Mugabi, Kalambay and David Braxton. But it was his jab I will always remember. Man, that jab would go right through you.

 

James Toney. Especially when he used it with the fencer's step, pushing off his right foot.

 

Frank Bruno had a concussive jab.
Tyrell Biggs had a point scoring jab that won world and Olympic Gold.
