    Voted for Lennox because there was more power behind it than Holmes', who probably had the best one, just not as damaging. Winky should be mentioned. I'm glad DLH is on that list, when he used it, he had an excellent jab. Wladimir Klitschko is in the top10 too.

    DLH at his prime his jab was amazing

    you have too think realy carefuly when you include heavyweaights for the simple reason when a guy stands 6ft7 and the other 6ft0 and one has a substantial reach advantage,

    if he know's how to use the jab he will always look great

    Im puzzled as to why he isn't atleast in the poll.He has a far better jab than Tito and Kessler and probably DLH too

    Kessler's isn't that great - it's no better than Pavlik's. Lummox Lewis had a good jab but it was a bit slow; Klitschko's are better, or Felix.

    I cannot add any other pool option but you can name one if other, there is Quartey and Whinky missing so take them into consideration in this pool guys.
    I think Kessler's and Dariusz's jab is highly underrated cuz' they fought in Europe only, but I have them in TOP 10 ATG
