What current fighters have the best jab?

GGG when he uses it.

Golovkin, By far the most ACCURATE and powerful jab in boxing at the moment.

He lands more jabs than any other fighter AVG per round.

He landed 180 Jabs against Lemieux in just 8 rounds, beat that.

Golovkin has a terrific jab

Canelo has a solid jab

Wladimir Klitschko still has a good jab (I think) though it didn't show against Fury

Miguel Cotto always had a good jab

We can take wlad's pathetic skill set off of this list.

Inoue has a brilliant one

Yeah it must be Sh.t know he's been beat? shake of the head.

Apart from the ones already mentioned Brook has a solid accurate one.

Harold Shipman had a lethal jab but he died years ago

I'm losing patients with these Shipman jokes.

Uchiyama deserves a mention actually. He's known for the right hand but that jab is just as good as his right

Roman Gonzales has a very accurate, educated jab which appears to carry considerable power.

Let's hope the new year Harolds a more tasteful era on this forum

Just another award for GGG this year. Add best jab in the world to all the rest of them. He so good that it's almost getting old.....almost.

It's easy to have a great jab against smaller men like Lemieux or against a light punching/featherfisted Monroe.

lara, rigondeauxi, inoue.....

GGG now.

Wlad did a few years back.

PS. It's starting to piss me off that my spell check keeps changing Wlad to Glad.

Silly response. GGG's jab was almost a non-factor in the Monroe fight. Lemieux is slightly shorter than GGG with short reach, but he's a legitimate middlweight and arguably a naturally bigger man than GGG, as evidenced by his weighing more than 10lb more than GGG at the 30-day weigh in. That said, I agree than Lemieux was the perfect opponent for GGG to showcase his jab against, though his size had little to do with it.

Even dumber response, not one person will agree that ggg is smaller than Lemieux. Put up a Poll and find out,.



It's pretty obvious from this pic who's bigger, not only that Lemieux is coming from a smaller weight class and on top of it GGG normally enters the ring on fight night at 170 Lemieux has never been that weight ever.

In boxing size is not measured with photos or polls. They use the scale for that. And the scale said, Ggg 170 vs Lemieux 175 fight night. Lemieux was also not coming up in weight, you don't know what you're talking about.

He hasn't had a fight below MW in 7 years, since he was 20. A fair few at SMW since. That's not coming up in weight. If anything he struggles to make 160.

So we know he's not a natural MW fighter, he did come up just like I said. People still say that Pacquiao is a 140lber/not at true WW so the same analogy applies to Lemieux.

That's a weird comparison. Pac had won 6 divisional titles before going to welter. Lemieux briefly competed on Canada 4 round circuit at Jmw before growing out of it. Ggg was also Jmw or lower at 20 back in the amateurs, with a much higher level of opposition than Lemieux

Lmao at natural. This dude is completely clueless to weight. David is a 'natural' light heavyweight.
