I'm not sure this page is right. It says 'the three main punches' but neglects to mention "the cross". There are four main punches in boxing: Jab, Cross, Hook and Uppercut. Also the definition of the jab is not correct. It is really "a straight punch thrown from the boxers lead arm" whereas the current definition just talks about distance.

[edit] Jab definition

I agree with the precedent comment...The jab is not only defined by its range but most importantly by the fact that it comes from the LEADING HAND. I suggest we add this point to the definition as well as Sonny Liston in the famous boxers for their jabs.

Cheers:)

[edit] Sonny Liston

Sorry for my blunder in the previous comment...Sonny Liston is already there! Cheers:)
