    Good call on Norton, his jab was underrated.

    Norton's jab is really underrated though, even foreman said that next to Ali and Liston, Norton had the best jab.

    I went with Holmes as did most. But in truth Wlad and Liston’s jabs are very close. I’m also surprised that Muhammad Ali wasn’t listed as an option though I still would have picked Holmes. Carl The Truth Williams also had a left jab that rivaled the best of them

    Larry Holmes period.

    #2 spot can be debated, not 1.
