    Great jabs both but Hearns set up some very heavy artillery.

    Hearns' jab had more dimensions and variety, but Holmes' was perhaps more of a weapon for him. Having said that, i've basically never seen Tommy outboxed for even brief periods and he faced some master boxers. So the edge to Hearns.

    I could see Holmes at HW getting outjabed more than I can Hearns at WW.
