Pernell Whitaker:had good speed, but his reflexes were better than anything I was never impressed with his hand speed.
Larry Holmes:Fast jab, but everything else was average IMO.
Muhammad Ali: Probably the fastest true heavyweight matching era for era.
Ray Leonard: lighting combinations his single punches weren't amazingly fast and he telegraphed his jab.
Tommy Hearns: single punches came as quick as Leonard's IMO I also read that from Randy Shields who beat Leonard as an amateur that he thought Hearns was as fast as Leonard.
Joe Calzaghe: Once again I don't think he has amazing speed... sure he is fast, but he isn't legendarily(made up word) fast.
Ray Robinson: Once again for his time he was a speed demon, but compared to the fighters of the past twenty years YAWN.
Roy Jones Jr.: Probably the fastest hands p4p I've seen even at heavyweight he had incredible speed, but I must admit he looks faster because of his reflexes and angles.
