    My top 5
    1-Liston
    2-Holmes
    3-Ali
    4-Wlad
    5-Lennox


    i dont mind ranking wlad's jab on the lower half but to say there's nothing special about it is absurd.

    he basically made brewster quit with it, throwing it 55-60 times per round. brewster had never been stopped and been only down once (to wlad in his first fight).

    he pitched a virtual shutout with it against an undefeated top 5 hw titleholder. It's a weapon he hurts people with snapping their heads back. See the Peter, Byrd, and rounds 5,6,7 of the Brock fights.

    i would say he doesnt step into enough at times but he can fire it while on the move and still hurt people. it's definately special. as he continues to dominated, i think he start to get my credit. all these other guys are retired and certainly deserve higher respect for now.

    i have been watching some liston fights and he really stepped into his jab. it was a devastating weapon.

    lewis had a great jab cause he could deliver it from different angles but pawed with it a lot using it as a rangefinder for his big shots. lennox was clearly a more complete offensive fighter than wlad, but id say wlad's jab is better. ffs even resident klitschko hater, max kellerman said it was among the very best
