With repsect I'd put Camacho in that class in full hindsight. Tremendous hands but his legs and mind were all self preservation. Thank you El Chapo. If I say Hopson I have to include a Mark Johnson. Absolutley a world class whirlwind with the qickest hands and feet until he fancied himself a slugger.

Taylor until until his warriors code came in, seeing him get hit clean by Ramos was something. Leonard was a beast in both. Jones jr was the clinical definition of pure reflex and handspeed...something that you cannot teach. Raw and natural. Ali early on. Robinson. Guys who set traps with the feet and capitalized with hands. On constant speed...energy shit I'd throw in Johnny Tapia. Always moving, shifting, popping in and out with solid hand speed. Whitaker was that too, he would literally leave guys looking stupid off of fast shifts and turns and swinging at the air but his mentality was box first...and box and box. Running on here
@Spicoli

Great assesment as usual... Too Sharp was a baaaaad man with them hands.
Mi Vida Loca as well.
Let's not forget how quick Paez Sr was as well with his hands and for me one of the best waist movements the sport has ever seen.

Other names that come to mind Kid Chocolate & Ike Williams.
