I also think that Foreman, Liston and Louis had great
powerful jabs. In his come back Foreman was able to
buckle guys knee's with his jab.
I think Ali had a fast, but rather in-effective jab, he was
just very active with it and used it as an attritional weapon.
I also liked Riddick Bowe's jab, when he threw it he was able
to land it with force and power. It was a weapon in itself.
I would rank his jab personally.

Bowe did have a great jab the problem was he often neglected it. His best moments were when he committed to the jab. So often though he just forgot all about it.
I'm starting to think Ali is underrated on this board. I wouldn't rank Ali's jab over Holmes' or Lewis'... but I think his jab was quite capable, and he beat a fellow great jabber in Liston...
