    I think Hearns, Whitaker, Monzon and Holmes had better jabs but his was an ATG one for sure.

    He has a great jab but I wouldn't say THE best. One of best is better

    Oscar's jab was out of this world. But Quartey's was better. However there was something about Oscar's overall form under Alcazar that made that jab so lethal, form was locked tight with good guard and jab extended.

    Not convinced that it was the best ever.

    if he didnt stop throwing it, there was a good chance he'd win.

    Quartey dominated Oscar with that jab. Oscar's jab is good but not one of the best ever.

    Great left jab, given the fact that Oscar was born left-handed.

    Sonny Liston and Joe Louis have the two greatest jabs I have seen. G-Man was not that far behind.

    Yes he had a great jab but not the greatest.

    Quartey out-jabbed De La Hoya.

    He primed out 95-97. By 1998, an ancient Chavez nearly lasted the distance, and his Golden Ass was exposed by the Hero of the World, Tito Trinidad, at the Mandalay Bay, Trinidad W12 DLH, 115-114, 6-5-1. If you gay ***s dont believe me, check the Record Books!:good

    His jab was good, but he got outjabbed by Whitaker, Quartey and Sturm.

    He did a nice job with the jab against Gonzalez and Mosley in the rematch in particular I thought. Even against Mayweather it worked quite well whilst he threw it.
