meldrick taylor
floyd mayweather
hector camacho sr

I would give the edge to roy. plus he had it at higher weights and carried it to each of the weight classes he moved up to.

Your list matches mine perfectly except I would not give the advantage to Roy. It would have to be between Meldric Taylor and Shane Mosley, both of those fighters moved like the flash, they were both faster than Jones but remember they were also alot smaller. You could add Terry Norris on the list also

Pound for pound, Taylor in his prime, IMO, has the fastest hands, I have ever seen.

A mention goes to 'Terrible' Terry Norris, who had amazing hand speed, and one punch KO power to go with it...

As an amateur he had blistering hands, but believe it or not, virtually zero KO power (12 stoppages in 155 wins).

I should slaughter you for saying anything good about Malignaggi

Hate to say anyone was faster than RJ but Meldrick Taylor if you have to pick from that list

Not as fast as his legs, when Rosario started landing his right!!! ;)

But you are right, in his pomp (83-85), his hand speed compared to anyone's.
