    1. Toney - watch the jab-job he does on Peter in their first fight
    2. Castillo - watch the jab he lands repeatedly against PBF
    3. Cotto - he pounded Judah with his jab
    4. Tarver - his right jab can control a whole fight against certain opposition

    The reason I say these jabs are underrated is because you don't generally hear people referring to the jab in the case of these fighters as a basis for their success. But in all cases, I think it's an integral part of their repretoires.

    Kelly Pavlik...

    Perhaps MORE than Any Other Punch, his Right Cross/Straight Right is his MOST POTENT Shot...

    & 9 Times Out of 10, he's Set the Guy UP for that Shot w/his Left Jab...

    Pavlik Doesn't Necessarily DOMINATE Fights w/it, but he Gets WHERE he Needs to B BECAUSE of his Jab...Pavlik RARELY just Walks Right Into his Opponent, he Ususally JABS his way In 1st...

    REED has Been Watching ALOT of Pavlik the Last Week or So & JUST Noticed this...

    Golota, who had one of the best jabs ever, yet he fails to be mention among the all time great jabbers

    Yeah, people would often talk about "Rahman is a talented and skilled guy who can't put it together due to inconsistency and laziness".

    I've never seen what made people think so highly of him, EXCEPT for the jab. His jab is the only thing that ever impressed me.

    I wouldn't call it underrated, it was one his best assets.

    Trinidad at least uses low blows to help him win, not to quit when he's ahead.

    Tito actually did rock Vargas with a jab in round 2. Tito had a good heavy jab.
