Yeah Ray Robinson did have Fast Hard single shots. Think of the Mayweather type single shots against Gatti (But obviously relevent to the hand speed to a 154lbs guy).

And also, i agree about Holmes who, in a sense, i see as a bit of a Hearns/ Leonard Heavyweight blend.
He had great timing/ refelxes. Good speed but telegraphed his jab alot (Although it was accurate). Which ment he would get the occasional right hand wallop!

Now this isnt me saying i think RJJ had the fastest hands but i must say he made the best use of his attributes... He's style was floored but his refelex covered that... He had no chin but his agility covered that... His hand speed, in regards to both single and combination punching, which carried power, covered the rest.

But he was quick though.

I disagree with Tyson not having fast hands though... His Right Hook to Body/ Right Uppercut Combo was full blown agression and speed. Especially for such a muscular dude.

Ali had quick hands no fooking doubt.
I didn't say Tyson didn't have fast hands, what I said was that he didn't have throw every punch with evil intent he could just throw his punches without following through each one and still hurt the opponent whereas Mayweather has to really enforce each punch.
Sorry mate, i miss understood what you was saying
