Most I've ever seen was Manuel Medina against Johnny Tapia. He threw 1400 or so punches in that fight, and 1000 of them were jabs. I don't recall ever seeing a fighter throw more jabs than that, and most fighters don't even throw half that, even a great deal of the time in Total Punches they don't match that.

I'm ballparking it too. It was a little over 1000. I'd have to look up the punch stats about the fight to get the exact numbers, but I remember that clearly.

This confirms what I thought, and yes Medina's jab output in that fight is the all time Compubox record.

Medina got shafted hard in that fight.

Virgil Hill is another that would win entire fights jabbing.

I have it in my Fight Film collection. I've seen it multiple times. Medina won 117-111 in my view. Definitely was a terrible decision.
