The Magical Jabs:

[Steakeater]

not really a jab, but he just threw it out all the time there to measure distance before throwing an overhand right.

the main time i saw him use jab as a weapon was his last fight against SHeika.

He pawed and touched, the actual pawing jab is a bit more systematic. Roy did stuff you're essentially always told not to do, but could get away with it as he had magical speed and reflexes.

[THUNDAR]

interesting post cottos jab is like a spear thrust.

Cool.

Great post! Have you ever posted a list of all time great jabbers? And where would Larry Holmes jab be in you mind at heavyweight?

[BodyHook]

Wow great thread, definitely my favorite so far. Ike had an amazing jab. I also think Mosley has a great jab that is underrated.

Fantastic thread. Very much appreciated

Very interesting read I wasn't aware of the variety of jabs, but I don't understand the difference between the pawing and slap jab they seem the same.

[Sinister]

The pawing jab is typically slower and left out there longer, the slapping jab is brought back faster.
