Who had the best jab at middleweight?

Hagler. he really knew how to pump that thing! pump pump pump! It was used as a legitimate offensive weapon (Hamani, Seales 3, Lee) tore heads off. it ripped flesh and weakened the opponent. it set up body shots and hooks.

Roy jones while not using a jab, was truly unique; he led with the right but worked extremely well for him becuz of how quickly it landed (before you could react)

others like Monzon, it really doesnt deserve mention other than just being a distraction but lacked authority and most of the time resembled a paw

 

Billy Soose also had a highly educated left hand

 

Irish Joey Archer deserves a mention. JA had only 8 kos in 45 wins.
However he defeated two of the division 's most feared punchers
Rubin Hurricane Carter and Dick Tiger. JA never possessed a strong
punch but had a exclusive footwork and a accurate well timed jab.

 

Kalambays jab was a thing of art. Maybe the most varied and versatile in history at the weight. Joey Archer had a tip top jab, it was basically his entire arsenal other than his graceful footwork. Poor mans middleweight Loughran. Luis Rodriguez also had a lovely snappy jab when he used it.

 

That's a pretty modern fight for you to be bringing up, mcvey. What's gotten into you? Anything I should be aware of?

How's the day treated you so far, sir.

 

Agree with you on Hagler 100%

Disagree on Monzon. Carlos was so good at controlling distance with that thing and lining up his right. There are different ways to use a jab.

 

Monzon

 

Top tier: Robinson, Monzon, Hearns
Very Good: Hagler, Hopkins, Duran, Nunn

 

Bob Fitzsimmons ? ((as a MW)
LOL!
