    I would not mention Wlad.

    Wlad has a very good but not ATG jab. Lennox Lewis jab was better.

    Wrong. Both have/had great jabs but Wladimir dictates the pace & distance better IMO.

    Gene Tunney had a great jab, so did Sonny Liston, Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko, Floyd Patterson, Frank Bruno, early Andrew Golota................and those are just the Heavys.

    Oscar, Ray Leonard, Hearns, Floyd, the list goes on & on................

    Co-sign. Pea's jab was immense.

    I also think Ike Quartey's was pretty special.

    Hearns,Holmes had the best jab ive ever seen. What made their jabs so effective was the speed they threw thier jab at, and the amount of feints they used. Hearns feinted the hell out of Ray Leonard and controlled the centre of the ring. He also controlled Benitez.

    Holmes used his feints to outfox Ken Norton for the majority of the early rounds.

    Here is one reason:

    If LL commited to his jab, it was very hard more powerful than Wlad's.

    On his jab.

    To be fair, though, Wlad is more consistant with his jab than Lewis. Lewis could paw a bit sometimes, use it to make range. But when he commited to it, when he really worked it, I agree he is out of Wlad's league and keeping Liston, Ali and Holmes company.
