    We Know Holmes, Ali, Liston etc displayed a great lead but which ACTIVE fighter has the best jab?

    Vitali and Abraham are effective but my vote sways to Kessler.

    What do you guys think?

    Kessler's jab against Haussler was awesome. Cotto has a good jab, as do Wlad and Forrest but Wlad paws a bit more with his jab now whereas before it was an aggressive jab.

    Can't think of anyone who has a better jab than Kessler. It is supported by great sense of timing, distance and precision.

    Agreed. But JMM has a hell of a jab as well.

    Have to go with Kessler as well. He uses the jab as it should be used, to inflict damage and not range find. It's fast, accurate, heavy and hard, plus he throws it incredibly straight. From a technical stand point it's not too far off perfect...

    Very powerful, but a bit slow at times.

    Winky can control a fight with his jab.

    Kessler's is very good aswell.

    Winky needs to fight soon. I am forgetting how he fights. I still think Rafas is better though. Rafa broke Izzys nose with his jab. :yep :bbb

    Sturm´s jab is outstanding.He lacks power but considering his speed and precision it doesn´t get much better than that.Even the jab with his right hand is good when he decides to fight like a southpaw...
