  • Wtf Hearns isn't on this list? Seriously?

  • I don't know if Foreman belongs on this list, because when he was in his physical prime, his jab was almost non-existent. He didn't develop a useful jab until he was well into his 30s...only after being dominated by Ali's jab did he begin working on his...even still, it wasn't all that. Joe Lewis had a FAR better jab than Foreman. He should be on this list for sure.

  • @STEEPPOW yep, w/out Joe being on the list I had to thumb this down.

  • ali best

  • What a shit music choice

  • shes got the look to make it

  • WTF kind of song is??

  • So, accoriding to the title, jabs have or own ever?

  • no wonder lewis has a great jab he's 6'5 how cant you have more reach

  • NOBODY had a better jab then Ali Lmao.

  • Foreman probs had the most powerfulest. but slowst. get hit by one of them and it will feel like a train hit u

  • This was more about setting up the jab, but nice list.

  • @thelordmemnoch no moron you use jabs to set up more jabs or a punch

  • Comment removed

  • Lennox Lewis,Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes-no doubt

  • @ikefemula Klitschko's fought bums

  • what about roy jones jr? or mayweather

  • lol.. I didn't know George foreman was a boxer.. I just thought he invented the grill...

  • @DeimosHD sarcasm if not....fuck me watch his fight against muhammad ali zaire 74 best bout ever.

    

  • @DeimosHD yeah he was one of the best legendary golden olympian

  • @DeimosHD he did his name is george grill foreman

  • @DeimosHD lol wth

  • @DeimosHD LAWL! NO WAY!

  • @DeimosHD hardest puncher ever. check out his vids

  • Sonny Liston should have been in that list he had the best powerful jab and reasonably fast.Ali tactic in i the first fight was to avoid it at all costs.

  • I'm really glad you got Larry Holmes lst. I don't think Larry was nearly appreciated enough. After all he had to follow Smokin Joe and old whats'my name. Larry's jab I would say would be the equivalent of getting jabbed in the face by a fence post. Larry was a really good fighter and a really good man as far as I'm concerned. I really enjoyed his work and he won me money. Quality guy all the way.

  • i would say that Wladamir Klitschko should of been added to this list as his jab is the main reason he controls every fight he is in. No one has been able to get past his jab, i know the division is void of real talent but thats still got to be respected.

  • Old George Foreman's jab was as hard as other fighters' straight right hand.

  • Ali's Jabs had to be annoying & are these all heavyweights? I know some smaller guys who had nice jabs

  • bullshit

    

  • never mind the comments about your list man. Your vid is awesome! This vid right here is the reason I started boxing. Keep up the good work!

  • Wow looks like someone forgot there are other weight devisions in boxing.... And the fact the roy jones jr or suger ray leonard were not mentioned shows how bad this list is. I also have to add, an aging george foreman? really?? yeesh.

  • @7xXSE7ENXx7 Roy Jones Jr? His jab was non existent. Do you even watch boxing?

  • @johntvette Please tell me your fucking joking mate cos if your not dont expect a reply for being a thick cunt.

  • @7xXSE7ENXx7 Why do you think Roy Jones got old so quickly? He didn't have a jab to carry him in his 30's. He relied on reflexes and odd angles, not jabs. You are a miserable twat to resort to name calling so easily. Stick to MMA, boxing is too complex for you.

  • @7xXSE7ENXx7 ...Hey dick...did you happen to see that aging George Forman kicking their asses in this clip? Did you forget that he was fighting a champion? Even an aging George Foreman was a great fighter. If he'd had his mature mind when young, he would have had a long, long, championship reign. The night he fought Holeyfield I wanted tyo bet George, but Holeyfield is great too, and I just couldn't see George knocking him out (he's too slick and durable) and I couldn't see pt 2

  • @42sundown pt 2 them giving George the decision even if he earned it (see the Shannon Bream thing) so I thought I had no bet at work. Lo and behold!! One of the biggest loudmouths ever walks into the dinner hole and says "I'v got five hundred that says Holeyfield will knock him out in two rounds". When I jumped on it, he knew he was had. We finally settled on 300 to 200 that George would not get knocked out. My $200 to his $300 and he thought he had me. Hah, Knock George out....

  • WOW I NEVER THOGUTH HOLMES WAS THIS GOOD!! HELL OF A JAB

  • @akosihelbert Holmes' jab was nicknamed "The Hammer" for a reason. It was more than just a jab, it was a weapon.

    

  • @johntvette Larry could have handled some of todays fighters with the Jab alone and possibly knocked some of them out. Only the very top tier is anything. Look at old James Toney, he is still competitive, except for the very top.

  • @ittosai02 same here sir! i thought the 5 and 4 should be switched

  • vladimir klitscho jab is good

  • @Muminaset93 yup 3rd on my list ,solid,snapping,very powerful jab!

  • @Muminaset93 not really he's older brother iis better

  • what about larry holmes?

    

  • Pinklon Thomas had a great jab.

  • most inspiring video on youtube

  • why is sonny liston not mentiond.... now that was a fucking jab

  • i dont know why u picked heavy weights for this video

  • He's knocked boxers out on occasion from a stiff jab alone. In his last fight against Mayorga all it took was one to hurt the opponent in the 12th and earn the tko. Against Alfonso Gomez he dropped him on his ass with a jab. Against Clottey he knocked him down in the first round with a jab. etc etc

  • @SmootheJammin Clottey was off balance. 

  • Cotto's jab. He's left handed but feels comfortable fighting orthodox so when he shoots the jab it's a thudding sort of power.

  • Good vid

  • Nice vid, but no...I'd put Ali on 1, Foreman on 2 and Holmes on three...But that's my view!

  • why isnt anderson silva's jab that KO'd Griffin on there?

  • ive gotta spar kickboxer's tonight and im going to give em a boxing lesson

    larry holmes style

  • video is perfect music is perfect list is correct

  • your clips of Ali's jab sucked. He's got tons of footage of him sticking long quick jabs in the faces of his opponents. Not sure why you couldn't find any of them.

  • Wait a second, Golota outjabbed Bowe, in both bouts.

  • @mieczyslam And Klitschko outjabbed Lewis. 

  • i definitely would have had Sonny Liston !

  • jab's or boxers

    :)

  • where's Joe Louis? His jab was like a straight right lol

  • WHAT?? GOAT? AND NO JOE LOUIS OR THE ORIGINAL SUGAR RAY?

  • Geore Foreman was the best!!!!

  • miyata's cross punch counter was on 3:04 :))

  • Ali's jab was weak as hell

  • @bill23138

    You are so wrong at this. Please watch his fights or better watch the documentary about his life, many commentators praised his jab

  • Holmes jab was a menacing killer

  • te tomaste el GREATest a pecho... los mejores jabs los tiran los pesos más ligeros :P

  • stupid

  • Who is the short little guy bowe is fighting at :32? Looks like qawi but it isn't

  • @gibememoni Michael Dokes.

  • perfect list anyone who says otherwise would think again if they fought every fighter

  • best jab for my money is marvin haglers heavy lead shot ..real power jab

  • Why don't you show the younger foreman throwing jabs, those were lethal as hell

  • U forgot DLH and Winky Wright (beat Trinindad With only using his Jab)

  • Lmfao shannon briggs is gettin hit in every clip.

  • 1)Ali

    2)Holmes

    3)Buster Douglas

    4)Bowe

    A fifth heavyweight doesnt immediately come to mind. Buster Douglas jab was underrated. Check out the fight on here with Mike Williams where he drops Williams with a jab. Unlike most people, I was aware of Buster Douglas skills as a contender before his title shot with Mike.

  • Change this music-----------------these are brothas not a bunch Eurotrash. Good video.

  • No Sonny Liston or Joe Louis

  • Ali's jab is at best a distant third to behind Lewis and Holmes. Holmes' jab is the most beautiful weapon I've ever seen in sports.

  • @bigmoney749 who could catch ali ? nobody else could get out of the way it wasnt slow either and knocked everybody else and 84" reach he could keep people at a very safe distance and knock people out

  • @l8velle Are you talking about Ali's jab? From the description you give here (84" reach and knocking people down) it sounds like you're talking about Lewis.

  • WTF is this sonny liston had a better jab than all of these put together

  • @l8velle most powerful jab but it was pretty slow, it could catch ali in both of there fights

  • Lewis had a really nice, sticking jab.

  • 100% true you know some of a boxing ali firs tyson first too i will type but very good!!!!!!!!

  • Foreman, what a beast !! just imagine him in his prime...

  • winky and hopkins. nough said.

  • needs pacman and dela hoya, pacman made him look like a breathing speedbag

  • Golota better than Bowe

  • Where's sonny liston?He's known for knocking people out with his Jab.

  • hiow is ali # 2 are u kidding he is the GOAT

    

  • The first three didn't move with their waist and didn't even kept their hands up after the jab. Frankly they have the technique of a 5 years old kid.

  • my top 5 are, ali, holmes, bowe, holyfield, foreman

  • i think this is an ok list but not a great one as you dont have sonny liston on here

  • i kno this is a heavyweight list but HITMAN HEARNS should still be up there somwhere

  • Ali had no jab?? BULLSHIT ask chuck wepner, ask that guy from canada that fought ali. ASK FOREMAN, mofo, ask joe frazier, ask larry holmes about sparring with ali. dude ali's jab was brilliant, and there was NO seeing it coming.

  • WLADIMIR MUFUCKIN KLITSCHKO HOMIE! his jab alone could knock u out if you got a "lennox lewis chin"

  • @shizlgizngar Or a "Wladimir Klitschko chin" for that matter lol.

  • With regards to this video, Foremans jab was devastating, as were his power punches. Holmes 1st? He mostly held it in the other guys face. No way he is 1st. If anyone answers to this post, I'll ask you one question, who's jab would you least like in your face? I know the answer, Big George, they look heavy to say the least.

  • @Stevesixty7 I have a better question. If I thought a super bouncing ball against the wall, who do you think hits it? Goerge Foreman does have a powerful jab, but that isn't the function of the jab. In fact, I think he has the crappiest jab out of all of them. It's so bad that he hits them with the jab so hard that he knocks them out of range for his lethal right, just look at the clips. That negates the purpose of a jab. Buster Douglas had a better jab than Foreman.

  • @thelordmemnoch throw*

  • Never mind heavyweights, Tommy Hearns jab was great, not to mention his big follow up right hand against Duran. That is all. :)

  • I haven't seen a lot of Lennox Lewis fights, but from what I'm seeing here he seems to overextend on a lot of his jabs and sometimes even obviously throwing himself off balance.

  • Ali should not be on this list. He jabbed and then hugged. That's it. And his jab had no real power. He was fast but his power was that of a welterweight. Holmes had a devestating jab however.

  • as much as i dont like the klitschko sisters they must be in that list

  • Terrible Music Track.

  • why all the heavy weights?

  • @smidgefaulkner Good one

  • The jab is without a doubt the most important strike in martial arts. Creates space, wears opponent down, and sets-up power shots.

  • besides what you are actually showing is a jab that look good against smaller opponent? what the fuck?

    great jab is impressive against taller opponent, its not hard to jab a little guy

  • how can you rate Riddick Bowe's jab over Golota's jab?

    when it was clear that Golota's jab work a lot better then Bowe's

    I remember even Larry Marchant admit it between first and second round that Golota destroyed Riddick jab

  • Where is Junior Dos Santos? He'd jab with anyone on this list, with 4 oz. gloves.

  • Song makes me wanna commit suicide.

  • The Klitschkos have the best jabs. The most KO power in them.

  • @DexterHaven49 'buster douglas had a better jab than the klitschkos

  • Lennox Lewis is the reason i stopped watching boxing. His jabs made boxing into a slap fight. Land more slaps and you win = boooooring.

  • wherez mike

  • @ARIS3OLE Mike Tyson was never famous for his jab. He was feared because of his Left HOOK and right uppercut.

  • @flyculture21 I disagree. Look at his fights again. You forgot his right cross. That was his most devastating punch. The one that knocked down Holmes, Spinks, and many others.

  • The MOST annoying song EVER...

  • lennox lewis can suck my lefty

  • Thank God for the mute button...

  • these are top 5 JAB or Top 5 Straights??

  • These guys all had great jabs but you could argue that Sonny Liston and Wlad Klitschko could also be on this list! I would have them two on the list instead of Foreman and Bowe but that's just my opinion!

  • yeah, maybe the best jabs *IN THE HEAVY WEIGH DIVISION*!!

  • Liston had the best jab in history of boxing!

  • @Aaronth4815162342 YESS BEST LEFT JAB IN BOXING HISTORY EASILY.

  • top 5 worst videos on youtube, & an equally shit soundtrack! Congratulations

  • ... shit. I was hoping this entire list wasn't a joke. I was waiting for them to put at the top of the list Baby Joe Mesi or Tommy Morrison. But I forgot about Holmes-- how could I have!?!?

  • Good video, but shyt music!

  • you left out ike quarte look at this and tell me what u think ...Ike Quartey vs Jung Oh Park

  • Where is Wladimir Klitschko? His jab is awesome, powerful, fast. It is possible that he can win fight use only his jab.

  • lennox lewis and holmes had the best jabs IMO. quick and powerful.

    their jabs were actually weapons.

  • Dumb list.. Only Ali and Holmes had awesome jabs. By the way you listed 6 fighters LOL

  • the background music is.sooooooo gay!..

  • im glad u rated holmes very potent stiff jab,over alis flick jab,alot of guys wouldnt have done that.it shows you understand what a great jab really is.nice presentation champ.

  • WORST SONG EVER!!!!!!

  • The only guy missing was Liston. Anyone know any guys at lower weights who were renowned for their jabs?

  • @laurab5400 well, I don't know if middleweight was one of the 'lower classes' you were referring to, but Hagler and Monzon both had battering jabs

  • @marinlille All the guys here are heavyweight, so yeah, I meant anything below that weight class. Thanks for your recommendation. I'm fairly new to boxing.

  • Hardly call Bowe athletic. Decent technical skills. Lewis when he wanted to use his jab had the best jab of all time. His jab was extremely heavy and could hurt not just setup and keep people at bay.

  • Damn I guess black guys are good at jabbing.

  • are you crazy? Sonny Liston didn't make the list??? that guys Jab was incredible, 

  • Holmes, Wladimir, Lennox

  • @Szekler11 exactly the same three i thought would definetly be on there... but george foreman???

  • @Szekler11 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

    this list is perfect

    sonny liston had a better jab than wlad

    wlads is maybe 10th if you like him

  • @johnosandra you are an idiot

  • @Szekler11 you know nothing about boxing

    wladimir had a better jab than larry

    lol shut up

  • @johnosandra liston had the best jab in heavyweight history

  • @gershom44 how many fights did it win him

    sonny listen lost a jabbing match with ali you idiot

    every man on this list would dominate sonny listen and they'd do it behind the jab

    1 man did

  • @johnosandra lol your the idiot, your talking to a boxer. stop fantasising and live it punk

  • Comment removed

  • @gershom44 lol old arrogant men who havent gone anywhere in boxing assume sonny listens jab was the greatest because of the simple fact it was the longest at 84inchs you and your trainer are simple cunts

    the kid with the biggest stick doesnt always win the stick fight

  • @johnosandra lol u wouldnt last 1 minute in my world faggot. Dont be mad becus I actually get my dick sucked okay. Now run along before I stick my penis in your vagina :)

  • @gershom44 women who suck your penis are so called women

    your mother sucks big fucking elephant dicks!

  • 4 of 5 on the list are bums...who if they ever fought anybody with any talent, IN THEIR PRIME, would get destroyed...and did.

  • Comment removed

  • dude all u did was heavyweights? sooo many boxers with better jabs out there.

  • where is a YOUNG Foreman?

  • liston should be second, such power. he's one of the most underrated heavyweight boxers of all time. had he trained for the first ali (clay at the time) fight properly and not gone down in the second, he'd have been heralded as one of the greatest. top jap, with ruthless power

  • Whoever made this video made ali look like a retard. There are so many other better clips of Ali in his prime popping his jab. Personally, I think his jab was better than Holmes. Ali fought Holmes when he basically had Parkinson's. In his prime, he would have killed Holmes.

  • @rudiesssss You know of course Holmes was a long time sparring partner for Ali before he fought him or won anything. Sparring partner. With a good jab. Holmes was the best the division had to offer in the early-mid eighties but had he fought in the 70's, I doubt he'd be as highly regarded today. Not trying to take away from him, it's just he was the best of a shitty time for HW.

  • @rudiesssss they did the same with foremans clips

  • @rudiesssss you're so right man. I was thinking the exact same thing. If you are rating legends best jabs..you should also make sure you select the right clips. ights of Muhammad Ali against. Paterson, Liston..in his prime basically. His jbs is sloppy as he was going downhill at that time of his career., laaaame

  • @rudiesssss to right example of ali's prime - muhammad ali vs cleveland williams

  • Miguel Cotto's Jab is strong even though he's just an welterweight. He knock most of his foe with jabs.

  • lol larry hands down best jab

  • Wladimir and Lewis are the best jabs IMO

  • Holmes and Lewis had the best Jabs imo ,

  • hmm, my math must be off...pretty sure I counted much more than 5 jabs in that video.
