    It’s about impossible to compile this type of a list...

    Joey Olivo had a great jab and won’t get mentioned a whole lot, so it’s one worth checking out if you have not watched much of him.

    The younger generation likes to have pet names for certain punches. They think it makes them look in the know, when really it looks ostentatious and quite gay.

    No...it means a jab while leaping just like Floyd Patterson with his left hook. Hagler would leap quick by jabbing in the southpaw stance. Quite simple to understand.

    Leaping up fast while jabbing simultaneously. Watch Alfredo Marcano and Marvin Hagler. No different than a Floyd Patterson leaping hook.

    Bob Foster somehow always gets forgotten. One of the great jabs and he sure knew how to deploy it.

    Mayweather was genius with his jab imo. He jabbed in many ways extremely well.
