Who out there has the best jab in the game........uk wise? A quality jab can make an easy night for the owner.....its a simple punch but if you have a good one you know the rest. Darren sutherland has a quality jab and froche has an okay one considering his hands are by his nuts most of the time....I m gonna go for haye or rhodes.


Add on

Amir Khan

Colin Lynes has a beauty - he can do everything with it; control the pace, cut his opponent, set up the right hand, disrupt his opponent's rhythmn.

He certainly one of the most versatile and I would give him my vote for the best jab.

For his positions after Darren Barkers is very Good, as is Jamie Cox,s, always in a position not to get Hit. Like both of them, Thinkers

Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao would disagree with you - when Khan first landed to spar at the Wild Card both were mightily impressed with his jab.

During his six week tenure in Los Angeles, Khan, 18-1 (14), sparred with Manny Pacquiao and undefeated junior welterweight Dean Byrne. During those reportedly intense sessions Roach reckons he has found a new weapon to add to Khan’s arsenal.

“He’s got a beautiful jab; a better jab than [Oscar] De La Hoya,” claims Roach. “Jabs win world titles.”

“Khan has a great, great jab and it’s faster than Oscar’s and better than Oscar’s” “If Manny can deal with Khan’s jab he can deal with anybodies jab”.

I know new trainers often talk up their latest pupils but I don't think Roach is particularly guilty of this in the main.

Khan has quite a bit to work on in his game but the quickness and acuracy of his jab isn't amongst the areas that need improvement.

Though he rarely uses it - Ricky Hatton has a great jab.

David hayes . amir khan well yeh i guess he does.

OK fair enough but he still does not know how the use his jab to the best of his ability yet, so that is the reason I dont think he is the best jabber in the UK. David Haye at the moment.

Kell Brook because he is putting people down with it

martin murray has a very good jab and mark thompson does too when he uses it very sharp martins is very accurate

Tony Oakey has an amazing Jab, his 5f 9 or so and he's out jabbing the like of Fry and other fella's in there 6fts...
I think its Tony Best Punch...

Hatton can not fully extend his arm so what kind of jab is that?

David Price & David Haye...

A short one

Amir Khan

Domestically, Colin Lynes - a real solid, damaging weapon.

David Haye when he actually bothers to use it. It's hard.

Ricky Burns??

Awww, I have no fuck1ng idea.

Lynes for me, problem with Colin though if its not on song - he stuggles.

I like the calls for Kel Brook also, its more than just a range finder - it is so solid.

Dean Francis' jab is a beaut also - its won him fights when the right hand doesn't work.
