I see a guy like MAyweather with lightning quick singles and doubles, but slower big combinations because he puts the "hurt" into ever punch while harder hitters like Mike Tyson or Roy Jones Jr. can take heat of the punches and just throw them faster in a combination. I see guys like Leonard and Meldrick Taylor who IMO who look way faster when throwing a combinations than they do at throwing singles.

So anyways what in your opinion is great handspeed? For me its a guy like Sugar Shane who has overall the fastest hands i've seen or RJJ who has p4p the fastest hands i"ve seen.
great reflexes and outstanding Timing can be mistaken for simple hand speed ...mayweather has both but your right about the combo thing w/ leonard...

reflexes and timing beat speed anyday
