Who do you reckon? For me there's none better than BJS just now. Who are the other contenders?

Mikey Garcia and Golovkin have pretty efficient and consistent jabs. Jorge Linares uses his jab really well these days too.

Best jab probably Loma or BJS.
We have all seen Lpma land his even while his opponent is bobbing and weaving. Both guys are super accurate.
As for power, either Krusher or AJ.
Both those guys can snap an opponent's head back with their jab, and even cause knock downs with it.

Yeah Grives jab has always been very underrated.

Brook has an excellent jab as well.

Whether you thought he was "impressive" or not, GGG basically controlled the top two fighters at his weight with just his jab & pressure. I can think of snappier jabs, flashier jabs, quicker jabs & probably harder jabs in the sport right now, but I cannot think of a superior one.

usyks southpaw jabs really good. when he actually sticks wth it instead of exchangng hes in control. he clowned glowacki wth it and glowac to me is a better 'boxer' then guy such as lemeux.

i feel if he goes manly with a busy jab instead of getting gun ho he could beat gass rather handly.

He's always had a good solid jab which he uses a lot, nearly everything he does comes off his jab

And when he doesn't, Dorticos is worth a mention.

Groves dropped Eubank with the jab, and although it didn't always land controlled the flow of action completely with it.

Bjs jab is beautiful. Very traditional and uses it well. Not sure it has enough authority on it against the top class though.

plenty of authority on BJS's jab. even an american commentary team picked up on it.
