Question about the jab.

not an all time great but Jorge Arce..??

 

What about jake lamotta? ive never seen him fight but I know he liked to swarm and get close... normally those kinds of fighters forget about the jab

 

Ricky Hatton...not great, but pretty darned good.

Joe Frazier's jab was actually really good when he used it but he never did so, he qualifies...

Young George

 

Hagler?

 

Also...

Gene Fullmer

 

I think there are all pretty good fighters but do they qualify as "great"? I can name dozens of so-so contenders who never used a jab but it's rare to have truly great fighters who never utilize one.

 

i dont think mike tyson threw that many jabs, but the again he didnt realy have to cause his rushdown was so fast. He got in all the time without even using the jab

 

If you watch the st valentines day massacre, he consistently finds and disrupts robinson with his jab.

 

I particularly like how he misspelled every single one of their names. Gooooo Michigan.

 

He had a pretty nice double jab from what I've seen of him. He was landing that double jab nicely on Robinson in their 6th fight before he got tired (and broken down from subtle body work) and then turned into a human pinata in the final 3 rounds.

No way, Hagler had one of the best southpaw jabs ever. Very heavy and one of Hagler's best weapons.

Tyson had a nice heavy jab that he used to set up shots. Obviously he wasn't going to use it the way a DLH/Hagler/Lewis would due to his short reach, but it was a pretty good jab.

I really liked the way he used it against Tucker when he wasn't doing too well with the rest of his arsenal.

 

George had a great jab, it looked slow but it had so much weight behind it.
