My top fifteen heavyweight jabs.

Bruno had a very good jab a real weapon also foreman in his second career had a booming pole of a jab .neither of these two used the jab as a point scorer they busted guys up.

 

Sonny Liston's jab was frightening. His jab broke facial bones , shattered teeth and ended fights

 

Douglas when he was " on " .

 

I've heard things like this about Liston so often on these boards but I still wonder if half the things are really true or some kind of boxing urban myth that started with one person but has somehow spread on the internet like wildfire.

 

Angelo Dundee witnessed it himself.

 

This guy didn't even include Foreman in his honorable mentions

The Wlad jab is not even top 10 , never mind the second greatest of all time

 

Joe Louis deserves to be in top 3 with Holmes and Wlad

 

How does Wlad belong in the top 3? Who did he out jab? Who was the best jabber he fought? Tell me?

The washed up remains of Ray Mercer bust him up with the jab. Mercer in the state he was in could barely move around the ring. How is this possible? Show me his best jabbing performance?

 

Triggered again Dino the dummy. You mean the Mercer who was on a 7 fight win streak and told me to my face Wlad was hardest puncher he fought.
Listen you don't like Wlad listed at 2 take it up with the thread starter cry baby.
Wlad's Jab speaks for itself, go watch some film. Bozo

 

Tubbs didn't jab with tyson, he tried to fight at close range. I think tucker Douglas and comeback foreman deserve to be on that list but good job otherwise!

 

Who did Mercer beat on this 7 fight win streak?
What was Wlads best jabbing performance?
Who was the best jabber he ever beat?

He was out jabbed by the ghost of Ray Mercer , Pulev and Tyson Fury. He couldn't keep Povetkin or Peter at the end of his jab to save his life.

How can he be a serial clincher / chronic illegal bear hugger and an ATG jab artist at the same time. How?

 

Wlad has had so many great jabbing performances it's difficult to select just one maybe neutralizing Haye? Or breaking down Tony Thompson? Maybe chagaev or Ibrigamov. All guys he controlled distance on with the Jab. Not to mention Byrd who was befuddled all day with it.
As for Mercer he didn't out Jab Wlad at all he landed a few good ones as he was known to do. Yes Mercer's 7 wins were against sub par opposition but he was winning and he won his next few fights after Wlad so he was not shot. Faded yes.
Pulev had a huge opening for the left hook, you're going to criticize Wlad for not jabbing in that fight shows how little you know armchair.
Wlad looked old against Fury a good mover with size and reach oh and Wlad was 39.
Please log off

 

If he controlled Haye with a jab , then why was he deducted a point for constantly holding and leaning down on his back -piece?

Wlad couldn't put a jab on Haye all night. It was Haye's game plane to circle around on the outside and look for the right opening to lunge in with a 1-2. Wlad pathetically held on for his life every time Haye easily entered his wheel house.
It should have been Haye holding onto HIM. Not the other way around.

Ibrigamov ?? hahah. A fight where two mental weaklings poked postured in front of each other in once of the worst title fights of all time.

Chaggy? Maybe. But then again Wlad selected him after he failed a medical to rematch Valeuv. He should have been fighting Valeuv , not the sick patient to wasn't granted a clean bill of health to fight Valeuv and Haye.
HBO wouldn't even broadcast the fight and Wlad was dropped off their network once again.

Thompson? lololoolol. Wlad landed a whooping 36 jabs against Thompson. THIRTY SIX

Thompson landed 57 at a 30% connect rate compared to Wlads 22% connect rate. Wlad was OUT jabbed BY Thompson.
The fight was an ugly mauling fest with Wlad throwing and rough housing old man Thompson around the ring. To add insult to injury Thompson came into the fight with a bum knee and was slow as molasses. Wlad the overrated bum was completely unable to out box him and could only rely on his power

The Wlad jab is only a pawing range finder thrown from the elbow instead of the shoulder. There's no levels to it but a straight line and its totally redundant unless Wlad is standing still.
You'd have to have experience actually boxing to understand.
The Wlad jab is/was always the most overrated 'punch' in boxing.

Spin a yarn long enough and it became a truth.

 

You're the most overrated poster on here. Endlessly going on with hate over Wlad for YEARS.
I don't care if Thompson outlanded Wlad's Jab. Wlad's Jab did the damage and it blinded him for the straight right. An armchair like yourself that's never been in a ring wouldn't know the different uses the Jab can be used for or how to disrupt timing with it.
Wlad's Jab kept Haye away he was leery of jumping in getting blunted by the Jab and being exposed to the cross.
Your endless crying over Wlad is tiresome. Go put your knee pads back on for Bowe.
Anyone who doesn't think Wlad has an all time Jab is clueless.
