Teddy Atlas' Top 10 Best Jabs in Boxing history.

Here is a low effort 20sec list… depending on what you like these guys are all probably equal-ish.

1. Willie Pep
2. Miguel Canto
3. B Leonard
4. Harada
5. Tunney
6. A Cervantes
7. Monzon
8. L Holmes
9. T Loughran
10. T Hearns
11. Maxim
12. Moore
13. J Toney

 

I don't know enough about these really old fighters I haven't seen enough of them.

But Ike Quartey had the hardest jab I've ever seen in lower weightclasses he deserves a mention.

I was always impressed with Winky Wright's jab aswell.

 

Ken Buchanan, Willie Pastrano and Luis Rodriguez were a few that immediately came to my mind on the subject.

 

Here we go with this crap

Can this guy stfu for one ****ing thread? Even noneck's obsession with Foreman isn't this bad.

 

You beat me to it. Both Ike and Winky had killer jabs.

 

Not a good list IMO

 

Kamikaze

Also Kamikaze, literally ten minutes later, reacting to an Atlas list:

 

Excellent call on Winky Wright

 

Swag has had ENOUGH

 

I can't listen to Atlas.. too much snorting & shouting

 

His entire rationale for including Conn is that not enough of today's fans are familiar with fighters from yesteryear.

I'm sure there are things Teddy does well in regards to boxing, I just haven't witnessed them.

 

Next time quote the full post, I finished with saying “I don’t agree with it” - my reaction to Atlas having Sonny Liston a mid tier HW champion in a list over guys Hearns, Canto, Lopez, Moore, Arguello etc is totally justifiable he plain sucks by comparison.

 

I think your obsession with me is worse.

 

Like the silly fellow I am when I scribbled down a list featuring names like Holmes I missed guys like Luis who’d frog hop him most likely, Emile Griffith too - Joey Maxim I’ve got as an HM etc the most curious thing about TA’s list is Liston? He has a slow, mid tier HW champ with a hard but not overly varied or good left hand… SOMEHOW ahead of guys like Canto, B Graham, J Louis, B Ross, R Lopez etc ? - having Ali at 1# as well as Conn and Robinson on the list doesn’t make much sense either… Robinson’s most “lesser” weapon was his jab, other fighters have even commented on it. Ali was a HW (the least skilled division) who lost bouts / should’ve lost bouts because he was unable to take control of the fight with his jab, Conn is a great fighter too like the others but he isn’t even a “jabber” per say.
