    WALDO is 6 foot 5, same as Lewis was.

    Best jabs for me are Holmes, Ali and Liston. Lewis not far behind and WALDO just behind that.

    WALD has a very good jab but Holmes and Lewis were better in my opinion.

    I think that speaks more to how good Golota's jab was more than discrediting Bowe's. Golota operation at 100% had all the skill in the world and an amazing jab.

    Thanks for answering that. He has some of the best handspeed in the division, at 6'6+ and 245lbs. Size alone doesn't mean ****.

    That's hardly hearsay, it's a patent truth with plenty of video evidence available. :yep

    It's almost always better to gauge by what's visible than what boxers say - they're not always reliable. Boxers have said some crazy things about how this guy hurt them or that guy didn't. It's like "Dude...these things didn't happen in a vaccuum...you're on tape wincing..." :lol:

    Did you spell dyslexic wrong on purpose?

    WALDO has a good jab, not the best, just good.

    Not Lewis. He's the most formidable heavyweight off the jab,I've ever seen.But if his opponent possessed a decent jab he could find himself in trouble.

    Liston has the best power jab I've seen with Waldo not far behind.
    I've seen Foreman and Tyson jab with great power.

    I think Holmes had the best overall.

    Holmes for me too. It seemed like just about all his opponents had some swelling around the eye

    Against who?

    Sanders beat him to the punch and beat him up. He can win with just a jab against Chagaev etc, but not good fighters.

    My top 3 would be Holmes, Ali, Liston in that order.

    Holmes had the best combination of speed, strength, and snap.

    For sure. Lewis doesn't even belong in this discussion. He always struggled against jabbers. Larry Holmes is the only one with a true p4p type jab. Even Liston, you take away his 84" reach and would it be that good? Same for Lewis. THough Liston hasd a much better jab than Lewis. You can say that about any attribute, I know, but thats p4p. As for Klitshcko, that must be some sort of joke. its like saying theres a local club fighter who dominates lower level club fighters with his jab. Sure, but its a totally different level. Only in the bubble that is esb could you compare wlad to holmes and not be laughed at. Ali perhaps also has a p4p type jab...reach plus speed, incredible. Holmes it is though.
