    What? are you saying you won't be contributing to the forthcoming 'best right hands, best left hooks, best uppercut and best bodypuncher' threads??

    acck, somehow I thought this was for just heavies. Masao Obha had a great flyweight left jab, Buchanan was an expert at the punch as was Pastrano. Pep was amazing with his jab in he could land his repeatedly while making longer armed opponents miss theirs.

    Yeah, it's crazy. Even by division I wouldn't want to narrow it down by more than 5 or 6, and it'd be horrible.

    I would say Wlad and Ali have the best heavyweight jabs.

    So what I'm hearing is you're making a list of the 5 best jabs in each division?

    Howard Davis Jr had a great jab. Not a great fighter but his jab was a thing of beauty.
