    Floyd showed a good jab in the Hatton fight among others but he doesnt use it enough and when he does it certainly does not rank with the best jabs of all time

    Charles Liston had a quick and powerful jab, far in excess of most peoples imagination, he also posessed the ability to throw an accurate quick hook off the jab........

    also a very big mention to Bruce Seldon who had one of recent heavys fastest jabs i ever saw... if he had a bigger heart he really could have been a force to be reckoned with......

    Yeah, Liston's jab was a thing of real beauty. He didn't do 'variety' but what he did do was perfect IMO.

    Hmmm. That's tough.

    Hopkins
    Kessler
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Rafael Marquez
    Wlad Klitschko


    Maybe. Lots of other guys have a case.

    Yeah, Calderon, etc....but those are safe and tested choices...(and most happen to be your favourites too...I guess you love fighters with a great jab, eh, McG?) :p
