Fury at #2? Nah. He's obviously rangy due to his height & reach but his jab isn't very educated or even that accurate. Most of the time he just head hunts with it. Meanwhile guys like Crawford, Usyk, Inoue & Shakur all possess sharp accurate jabs, including multiple variations, and they're highly educated.
 
Yeah Fury can do well with his jab but he isn't consistent enough to beat out some of the guys behind him.

For some reason I don't know who Richardson Hitchins is lol.

Hitchins is the IBF champ at Junior Welterweight. He just beat Kambosos granted the latter is really a natural 135 pounder. He tore him up with his jab.

its not unusual to not know who Hitchens is because he is boring

also, 13 is an unusual number for a list. unless it has to do with days until Christmas. anyway i agree with #1, Bivol's jab is a thing of beauty.
 
It's also worth mentioning that Fury was handily outjabbed by Usyk in the rematch. The latter landed around 30 more jabs, despite throwing less, and he was twice as accurate as Fury despite Fury being so much longer and taller. Yet Fury ranks a lot higher on this list than Usyk does? Make it make sense.
