    Riddick Bowe? I mean Holyfield himself said he had a better jab than lennox lewis.
    "I would say Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, they are the only two guys who could keep me off with the jab. I would say Bowe; he was consistent with it. Lennox kind of had it but Bowe used it for offense and defense, and at any given time he’d use the left hand. Oh yeah, it was powerful."

    Nah, he didn’t but I found him very fun to watch. His wars with Saldivar were epic to behold. Some say he should have won ?2nd? Fight, I remember thinking Saldivar edged it. But man his jab almost got it done against a top 5 all time feather IMO. Winstone was badass

    Nobody but Winstone and his corner thought he won the second fight.

    Larry Holmes (The best, fastest, and slickest jab for me)
    Muhammad Ali (speed and an ideal range finder_
    George Foreman (Telephone like)
    Thomas Hearns (Basically a spear in the shape of a fist)
    Sonny Liston (Powerful)
    Gennady Golovkin (Basically a leading straight punch)
    Roy Jones Jr (Speed and from different angles)
    Harry Greb (An innovator of a death of 1000 cuts)
    Gene Tunney (Accurate and great combo breaker)
    Joe Louis (Accurate and clean)

    It’s a bit different because the gazelle jab is more like a leap instead of stepping, pushing your weight onto the lead foot and jumping forward off that front leg and also throwing the jab as you come up

    Just sounds like a bad idea my friend. Perfect way to get countered by a right hand.
