Off the top of my head...I remember roger mayweather vinny paz, Mayweather jabbed him to death I believe.
Also seem to remember golota landing booming jabs against bowe.
Someone might want to verify these though.

John Conteh vs Yaqui Lopez. This was brittle hands Conteh, who didn't use the right like he did earlier in his career on account of the injuries it sustained. One of the most cultured lefts I've seen. Overall, not just as a jab.

Larry Holmes handled the giant Roy 'Tiger' Williams with the jab--quite the performance. He also put on a jabbing masterclass versus Ossie Ocasio, which included a rare example of a jab knockdown scored against a world-level opponent.

De la Hoya vs Vargas was excellent with the jab
Talking about hurtful jabs, if you watch the last round of Pavlik Taylor 1 you can see Pavlik landing about 6 or 7 clean jabs where he's really busting Taylor's head back with them, you can see them taking effect before the finish, they were really debilitating for Taylor
Similarly i saw Veeraphol- Tatsuyoshi fights last night and V busted him up badly with the jab, really heavily landed concussive jabs.
