    Bruce Seldon deserves a shout out. (I'm actually mostly serious).

    Wlad is top three: powerful, versatile, a game changer.

    Pinklon Thomas after Holmes, had probably the best jab in the division during the 80's. It was arguably more powerful than Holmes but was a lot slower. It was very effective when it landed but I thought the main problem was that he used to let out a loud grunt when he threw it and I wonder why opponents just didn't anticipate the shot by watching him prepare to grunt just before he threw it?:pancarta:

    Great list. But believe it or not I'd add M.Tyson. at the top of his game, he always seemed to land more jabs than his opponents. His timing and range was great, esp for him being as short as he is.

    Turn off the highlight reel dummy.

    Wlad set nothing up on Thompson. He mauled , grappled and flung an old injured man around the ring because he was getting out boxed and OUT JABBED.
    He landed the knockout shot purely because Thompson was absolutely RECKT from being back humped to death non stop for 11 rounds.

    It was Wlad right hand that kept Haye honest. NOT any jab. Haye evaded Wlad jab like it as nothing. He took a right hand in the 4th and that was the game changer.
    Haye was dazed for 3 rounds after that and didn't fully recover till around the 7th. Yet Wlad was still to cautious and gun shy to move in on him.
    And clowns like you say he only lost his trigger in the Fury fight.
    No , Haye Wlad would have been soundly out boxed and OUT JABBED as well. The K2 fanbois said Haye Wlad was the best most primest Wlad ever.
    Well Fury out jabbed this guy silly. Top 3 of all time , yeah? LOLOLOLOLOL

    Actually Wlad never produced a jabbing clinic as Seldon did against Tony Tucker. Never came close

    I'm not even going to quote that gibberish. You said Wlad doesn't have an all time top 10 Jab at heavyweight. So why don't YOU make a poll and ask a simple yes no question does Wlad have an atg top 10 Jab. And we'll see the replies. Your "act" is tiresome. Constantly **** riding my posts. Always hating on Wlad but never have the b*••s to make your own thread. Stick to the sofa armchair men are talking

    A quote from one of Liston's opponents: "He could hit you with his jab from the other side of the ring".
