    Kessler's jab is excellent, far better than that of Pavlik.

    No mention of either Henry Maske or Virgil Hill..... which surprises me.

    Of those, probably Lennox Lewis and Oscar De La Hoya.

    As many have said - Kessler's jab is excellent and in an entirely different league to Pavlik's.

    Personally, I would go with Holmes' or Hearns' in this poll. Wlad's has potential, but too inconsistent imo. Darius' is underrated too.

    yes. kessler has a really good jab MUCH MUCH better that Pavliks sausage. But best over 30 years? COMMON!!! Wlad and Holmes id say.
    3 best jabs at HW alltime Holmes, Ali, Wlad.
    Wlad - Most powerful
    Ali - fastest
    Holmes - most balanced and accurate.

    Ali was done 30 years ago, forget about him in this thread.

    Those who didn't see any of prime Dariusz's or Kessler's fights need to get some education indeed.

    My top 3 is

    1. Holmes

    2. Lewis/Wlad

    3. Darius/Kessler


    Sturm's jab has to be mentioned also as one of the best

    Don't you mean Lennox? If anything, Wlad is TOO consistent with his jab and should open up a bit more. But he nearly win fights on his jab alone and that says something. Holmes has a great one as well... hard to pick between all of them. Kessler has a very fast and consistent one.. Ronald Wright should be on that list instead of Trinidad, who he thoroughly out-jabbed and outboxed.

    Hearns should be in this poll, so does Pernell Whitaker. Another one who deserves a mention is Carl "The Truth" Williams who had a great jab.

    Wlad. He wins by jab alone.

    Wlad's jab is one of those things that everybody knows is coming, everybody see's coming, but there isn't **** anybody can do about it.

    When the first one lands, you can always count on the "awww ****" face.
