Lennox Lewis was the last undisputed heavyweight champion in history, and it’s easy to see why. Lewis soundly defeated the best of his era, garnering an impressive resume to go along with his insane highlight reel. Lewis was a boxer puncher, who fought on the outside until he was ready to take his opponent out. And while Lewis possessed incredible finesse, using his lead hand with the skill of a fencer using his sword, he also always went for the finishing shot.

And Lewis set these shots up with one of the best jabs ever seen in the ring. Lewis's jab was certainly powerful, but it's true power lied in it's insane versatility. Lewis had a jab for every occasion, and as such he was able to exploit the specific weaknesses in any opponent’s chosen system for defense.

Lewis’ rising jab came up from his hip like Ali's. But unlike Alis whipping lead, Lewis’ version jab was stiff. This meant that Lewis could drive his jab through the crack in his opponent’s guard like an uppercut, but obviously with much greater range. As such, this jab was ideal for stopping fighters who liked to move in with low line head moving. They were essentially ducking directly into Lewi’s jab.

But this was just the tip of the iceberg.
