Fastest Hands in Boxing

[Beanflicker]

Look how slow tyson moves in your signature. Cassius is fastest!

In fact, I'll do you one better: I think Floyd Patterson had faster pure hand speed than both of them! Chew on that one.

Floyd would only be a cruiserweight now. Mike was a over a stone heavier than Patterson and was heavier than Ali when he was Cassius Clay.

A man of that size and weight who could create that speed is a genuine phenomenon.

No argument there. Speed and power, like a HW Julian Jackson.

Khan
Jones

I know that these have been said but for me Meldrick Taylor was the fastest over Jones, Tyson, Noriss.

Khan is the fastest I have seen as the top weight with Manny and Donnaire too.

*if we can go to any era..Howard Davis is considered by most experts to be the fastest...
Meldrik Taylor was fast..

Watched footage of Meldrick and Roy again and I'm gonna have to give it to Roy ... Meldrick would spit out more prolific combinations with 8 or 9 punches in sequence but Roy was just a freak who moved so fast it was hard for anyone to even react ... even in slow motion this guy was fast ...

Literally had alien speed and was VERY accurate ... Taylor longer combos made it look like he had faster hands but Roy was actually getting clean shots in with his combos, unlike Meldrick. Even besides that, I think his hands were faster anyway.

Top form Johhny Tapia was faster than a Khan, no doubt.

Mark 'too sharp' Johnson was one of the fastest I've seen though short lived. Taylor rolled speed off speed where Jones had instant reflex and one-two stopping power.

[DavilaJones]

Fastest hand speed or fastest speed of though? Cause you can have great hand speed but not the best reaction time to use those fast hands.

[beenKOed]

Cassius Clay was faster than Tyson.

I agree but Tyson was quick and much better on the inside. IMO

Right now it is Amir Khan.

Historically I'd say Jones Jr, Patterson, Ali, Pacquiao

Surprised Camacho's name hasn't come up.

Perhaps he was so fast none of you even saw it...

[TysonBomb]

Camacho had lightning in his gloves

Currently, Gary Russell Jr even though he's pampered and only fights washed up Mexicans..

Russell and Donaire and some blistering hand speeds..
