Not p4p he didn't, he was way lighter than them, and watch LEonard in the Olympics or his earlier fights and he throws faster combinations. Regardless, Taylor didn't have a terribly fast jab or pot shot type punches that Ali, Leonard, Roy all had.
SRL, Ali and RJJ had great hand speed and considering Ali was a Heavyweight....
I would post a video of Meldrick but the only thing on YouTube is the JCC fight.

If you could show me a vid of him training I could make up my mind. All you have to do is look at the first minute of the Tyson vid and figure he was an amazing athlete. At that weight too...........its scary.
I don't have any video of him training but I did find video of his hand speed.
Watch closely at 1:03 see if you can actually see his hands.
