    I don't know that any champion ever has??. To say any champion could knockout an opponent with the jab would be a bit of a over exaggeration but I get your meaning - I guess obvious first choices might be Sonny Liston and Joe Louis maybe? After that maybe Larry? Even Frank Bruno has a very HEAVY jab so who knows? Riddick Bowe had a VERY good jab too - sure I remember one of his buckling Holy's leg and causing him to really sag at one point in their classic first fight?

    Oh Marvin Hagler I bet had a pretty tough jab coz he was a converted southpaw so his jab hand was his power hand really - not sure if there are any quotes around from any of his opponents about his jab?

    Past champ: Holmes - If he'd just kept jabbing Ocasio only.
    Future champ: Pulev - Just did to Dimitrenko.

    :D

    Edit:

    :lol: Danny Green is a cheeky but true answer, Rock.
