Roy Jones was fast and ruthless.

Terry Norris had dynamite combinations.

Nigel Benn had vicious and venomous punches.

Which is why I just said punches.

They were not random combinations.

I always liked Marquez' jab left uppercut:

Tyson has to be considered. Jones.

Jones Jr:

Mike Tyson:

May not be the fastest, but JMM is fast enough get people with 5 in a row some times.

If were talking instances:

The 2 piece over under Roy landed on Reggie Johnson stands out.
The blizzard of punches that brannon caught from roy does too.
The combo that Gatti finished gamache with was pretty ugly
Mercer liquefying Morrison with that barrage at the end was pretty vicious.
Floyd pinning manfredy on the ropes and using him as a paddle ball.
The one douglas dropped tyson with wasn't bad.
Tua pummeling of Ruiz was quite a sight to behold.

There's a lot i missed that i'm sure others will mention

One of favs of all time: RJJ dropping Pazienza. If you ask Vinnie... he'd say he got hit by 2 or 3 Roys at the same time. ;D

I'd say Roy overall, since often "most vicious" and fastest would suggest a different approach. He's one of the rare guys who could basically shoeshine and throw flurries while making some of them concussive punches. Meldrick Taylor probably threw in bunches with as much speed as anyone you could find, but there weren't single shots in there that were that deadly. Someone like Marquez on the other hand wasn't especially fast at all but put punches together in order to set up one or two really damaging shots and could follow up on them as he was set to punch with power, same time he was sometimes caught hard in the process by faster guys.

Roman Gonzales is another very good example of a modern guy who can really mix it up with speed and power in combination.

I've always loved Holyfield as a combination puncher especially for a heavyweight with the right mix of speed and pop. Tremendous counter-combos and still think the left hook was always top notch, it didn't send guys flat and out always but it buzzed, hurt and dropped some of the very best.

RJJ

The end.

Fastest I've ever seen in a fight was Ali finishing off Brian London. Not the most vicious though.

Chavez Sr. had great combinations, especially mixing in some murderous body shots.

Oscar? Smoke and mirrors sometimes.

Someone like RJJ threw amazing combinations, with real power in each punch. Oscar many times threw pitty-pat, slapping flurries, which impressed the easily impressionable judges, but when shown in slo-mo revealed just how pitty-pat slappy they were. Case in point were some flurries against Quartey.

Fighters that come to mind:
1. Meldrick Taylor: only fighter I've seen who I think had faster hands than Roy. While his hands were faster, he had slower legs, and reflexes than Roy, couldn't punch as hard (p4p), and wasn't as intelligent or disciplined. He had great combos though.
2. Pernell Whitaker: great defense overshadowed his superb hand speed and beautiful combinations.
3. Hector Camacho: Like Whitaker, but less consistent and slightly less talented/mentally tough.
4. Manny Paquaiou: elite speed, able to use awkward rhythm and fast hands/feet to overwhelm opponents with scary power and creative angles.
5. Vasily Lomachenko: A more complete/scary version of Manny. In my opinion, best combo of speed and power combos since Roy, with better fundamentals.
6. Mike Tyson: blazing speed combined with one punch knockout power in both hands. Great combination puncher in his prime.
7. Marvelous Marvin Hagler: scary demeanor and one punch power over shadows his boxing ability, speed, and combination punching. Hagler was a pro and in his prime he threw some beautiful combos with scary power mixed in.
8. Sugar Ray Leonard: great boxer who used amazing hand speed to overwhelm legitimate, ATG fighters like Tommy Hearns.
9. Floyd Mayweather Junior: One of the greatest ever. Used hand speed and combinations to dismantle Chico, Gatti, Hatton, and many others.
10. Roberto Duran: like Hagler, his savagery and punch overshadowed his speed and combination punching. Duran was one of the best at creating openings with the first couple of punches in the combination so he could land the last 3 or 4 of the combo. He also was one of the best at closing after hurting an opponent.
11. Roy Jones: when talking scary speed and power, no one captured/exhibited those traits more than Roy, he pretty much defined vicious, fast combinations. Watch his combos vs. Percy Harris, Brannon, Montell Griffin, James Toney, Paz, Reggie Johnson, Merqui Sosa, and Thomas Tate to see truly vicious, and fast combos. Scary stuff...
