    Good thing Cleveland Williams isn't on this list. He would quite literally shatter the scale with his power.

    WK went down 3 times vs Sam Peter. Explain how he has a jab rated 9/10? When u explain i will initiate my counter argument thak WK jab was 6..6- 7/10
    You then hilariously rated Lewis jab worse at 8.5 and Tyson at 7. The footage here shows Tyson had a far more versatile jab than Klitschko who was unable to jab and move at the same time. If you moved his jab was ineffective.
    A recent thread showed how Bwe was able to catch a very active moving Hide with jabs that snapped his head back. Compre to how Wlad could hardly hit David Haye clean over 12 rounds and actually leaned down on Hasye more than he out jabbed him. Genarao took a point away in Germany so that tells you how fragrant his holding was.
