Fastest Hands in Boxing

[TysonBomb]

Who currently has the best hand speed in boxing?

Also, who do you guys think had the fastest hands you ever saw, historically?

Hmm, cant think of his name but he was something like a bantam or feather then went up to something around welter and had a look of Mike Tyson facially. Fast hands, not alot of power and do e fuck all with the talent he has. Seems to have been around years as well. I think he came in stupidly overweight in a fight.

So fucking annoyed that I cant remember his name!!

Probably all time Roy Jones or Meldrick Taylor, at least off the top of my head for pure handspeed. Mosley at lightweight, or Terry Norris were also stupidly fast. Ray Leonard of course is up there, and Thommy Hearns probably had almost equivalent handspeed given his technique and leverage. A young Zab Judah was lightning as well, still has fast hands if not much else. Right now I couldn't really say for sure. In theory I'm sure it's someone who's really tiny, but for me the real killers are guys who put blinding speed behind powerful and technically sound punches. Maybe Donaire, or even Pacquiao until quite recently.

Yuriorkis Gamboa is a quick little guy. Roy Jones probably the p4p king in speed.

I'm surprised Rigondeaux's name has not been mentioned. Are my eyes deceiving me?

Gamboa, Amir Khan, Broner IMO.

Historically, p4p Roy Jones was the fastest IMO.

By p4p I mean if you could take an average punch speed for each weight division, and measure how much faster a fighter was above the average for his weight division, Roy Jones had the fastest hands in boxing history.

No, youd then be talking about Mike Tyson...

Nah, Roy Jones was faster for a LHW than Tyson was for a HW.

You fucking joking!

Using your criteria Mike has the fastest hands ever! Averaging other heavies speed against Mike makes him unbelievable! Even Alis hands weren't as fast!

[Beanflicker]

Cassius Clay was faster than Tyson.
