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 agree it wasn't very distructive but was effective at opening up cuts.

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...
