It's probably Wlad. Khan is a good shout though, he just never uses it because his ego's too fucking big. I wish he'd box more and stay disciplined in the ring.
Yeah, his jab and speed are good. But he has shit defense, ring IQ, chin, doesn't sit down on his punches in fear of being brutally KO'd due to his chin so there fore I can conclude he also has shit power, shit head movement, shit footwork, goes into cruise control half way through his fights and subsequently gets caught suggesting a shit mentality and he is only dangerous for the first 6 rounds or so of a fight.

(I am very hard on Khan. He kind of deserves it though)

Wlad's jab looks fairly crappy at times, pawing with it so often. Its not a spear like weapon that can brutalize an opponent, like a Larry Holmes or Ike Quartey. But he just uses it so effectively to control the range in a fight and to score points. He can really snap it when he wants to though.

Wlad, Floyd, Ward, Moreno 2.0(his last 2 fights basically), Donaire(now THERE'S someone who needs a ''when he uses it'' :yep), Rigo, etc.

There are dudes like Kessler and USS Cunningham who would usually feature regularly when people make these type of lists, but they appear to have perhaps fallen off a bit recently.

No chance.

Maidana, Garcia and Peterson all walked through it. It's not stiff enough.
I tend to agree with this. To me Khan's jab has always been pretty pitter-patter to be honest, very rarely is there any weight behind it. I thought he utilised it well against Malignaggi, but that aside I find it to be pretty amateurish, not a lot of versatility in it and it's only really used as a flashy shot to score points with/initiate flurries.

Never really thought of Martinez havign a great jab.
Martinez managed to outjab Dzinzurik. All of his punches are set up off his jab. While it's an unconventional one, it's damn effective.

Watch Martinez's destruction of Dzinzurik again and pay attention to the jab. Also note that Dzinzurik is noted for having a very good jab.
