Here's few to get started.
Howard Davis Jr vs Meldrick Taylor
Terry Norris vs Meldrick Taylor
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Terry Norris
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns
Shane Mosley vs Oscar De La Hoya
Hector Camacho vs Sugar Ray Leonard
Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Shane Mosley
Great list! I'd say the most blaring one I can think of was Mosley/DLH, both in their primes.
When they opted to slug, it was like looking at two Helicopter blades coming at each other. One of my all time favorite fights for sure.
I guess Floyd vs Judah can be mentioned as well. Judah was never the most technical guy but his hand speed is rediculous
I wached a Hearn fight the other day :o That guy was incredible, so fast, so strong and his technique was perfect.
He really would have beaten anyone today
yeah.. I agree Judah and Floyd should be on the list
Camacho-Leonard was just sad sad. Might go off the reservation and a reach...Mark Johnson vs Fernando montiel ??? Can you imagine if peaked Johnson fought Tapia....nice!! Would put that up with any as far as fast hands combined really.
although neither were at their fastest, Jones Jr Vs Calzaghe
Jermaine Taylor vs Cory Spinks
Cory Spinks vs Zab Judah
Naz vs Barrera, although Barrera was faster!
i wouldn't really say Taylor was ever considered a fast fighter, he had decent speed and that's bout itQuote:

I think the combination of his speed with those long arms made his speed even harder to get around, and his power didn't hurt either, but there are a lot of things he didn't do that the right guy could have exploited.Quote:
