There are a lot of boxers with quick hands nowadays, out of currently active boxers, who has the quickest?
I don't know if he's the fastest, but Berto came to mind immediately.
Dawson & Juan Diaz come to mind.
Can't believe I forgot Diaz.Quote:

Berto clearly has the fastest hands, I just watched him after Pacquaio and he is way faster, I think Chad Dawson should be up there, Roy Jones Jr still has upper level handspeed p4p, he has faster hands than Calzaghe still. Demetrius Andrade should be immediately put up there when he starts his pro career.
I voted Guzman.
Calzaghe didn't look as fast against the awkward Hopkins, but there's no doubt he's got serious speed in the flurries.
Calzaghe has fast combinations, but he has slow individual punches.
tough decision.
Pac was the first fighter to come to mind.
Berto with his quick martial art hands.
I'm gonna go JC although the power ain't there because the shite hands
Amir Khan. Shame about his chin. Guy has real fast hands though.
Shane Mosley
Hasegawa is lightning when going full speed.
Going by the voting not many people have obvioulsy seen him.
or Mike Oliver for that matter.Quote:

I voted for Berto but I believe Roy Jones is in the top 3 of this category certainly alot faster than Calzaghe
i voted for pac
What about the "Greatest"Ali?;)
From the list,i would have to go with Calzaghe:cool:
Pac hands down for me
Gotta go with Yuriorkis Gamboa. His speed reminds me so much of Roy Jones, who had IMO the fastest hands in the history of boxing.
See statement of "Current boxers" on first postQuote:

I would have voted Juan Diaz but he's not on the list.
So I voted Hozumi.
Here's how I see it
1. Diaz
2. Hozumi
3. Zab
4. Guzman
5. Pac
6. Berto
7. Calzaghe
8. Gamboa
9. BCD
10. Oliver
Honors: RJJ, Roman Gonzalez, JuanMa, Anitllon, Katsidis, Victor Ortiz, Povetkin.
i voted for zab judah...becuz he was beating mayweather (who is also super fast) to the punches in the first half of their fight...zab needs more conditioning
Fernando Montiel has some nice rapido.....Pac is both quick & painful.....up & coming mention to Andre Dirrel
Agreed. Jones STILL has faster hands than Calzaghe.Quote:

a few years ago id have said zab definitley, but now ill say berto, he looked like lightening the other night.
Judah or Pacman
Calzaghe.
I find that somewhat hard to fathom. I agree that he can flurry with speed, but on the other hand I dont think he throws a single punch slowly. Calzaghe has very good handspeed overall.Quote:

Roy Jones still fast.
Amir Khan also has fast hands and does David Haye.
it's easier to throw faster when there's nothing on them.Quote:

Its a myth that Calzaghe has no power. He beat Lacy up stopped Manfredo hurt Kessler. The only fight in which he looked inefectual was against Hopkins.
Trivia question: How many times did Calzaghe have to hit Lacy to knock him down?Quote:

Not bagging Calzaghe, but he hasn't had power in years. The stoppage against Manfredo was beyond early, it was a horrible stoppage, no way he could have won, but no way can you say Manfredo was hurt. Kessler never looked in trouble, swollen yeah, but he never looked wobbly or anything.
Jorge Linares should be on that list IMO; he's got pretty fast hands to me.:confused:

His power isnt great but its enough to bust you up and make you think twice. Kessler was hurt badly to the body in the 8th he admitted it after the fight.
