Other than RJJ and Pacquiao, name ATGs that didn't utilize a strong jab?

    :lol:you got some cred to pete. good point (both of you), frazier could jab when he wanted to. he just rarely wanted to. burley though i'm a little surprised about, from what i've read (admittedly less than you both) he didn't use it as a primary weapon or even range finder that much.

    I’d been traveling around the country with Muhammad Ali, speaking to students about tolerance and understanding. On February 26, 1997, our travels took us to Pensacola, Florida. That afternoon, we visited the Square Ring Gym, where Roy was training.

    Ali was suffering noticeably from Parkinson’s syndrome by then, but he was still physically strong. Roy invited him into the ring. Muhammad obliged. They engaged in a mock sparring session.

    That night, over dinner, Roy told me, “I feel better about Ali now. When we got in the ring, I could see right away that he was looking for the flaw in my jab. He found it. And he signaled to me by doing the same thing with his jab that I was doing.”

    “And?”

    “I know it’s there,” Roy said. “But I’m so fast, I can get away with it.”
