Very true but Jones' were all power punches which was what made his speed so unique.
I know it was an oldish Jones. Thats why I'd love to see just how fast he could have punched around his MW and SMW days. For me he seemed (strange as it seems) to get faster when he moved up from LMW.
Thats it I'm off to watch his career box set again!
Say it would be a tie between Mosley,Taylor and Jones i seen alot of there stuff they dont seem far apart even pound for pound feel there close and also Ali has to be up there as well because for a heavyweight that man was very fast not mention Leonard has to be close as well.
Bertos fast...but hes no Taylor.Watch the Meekins and McGirt breakdowns,Amazing
I dont know about ever but Johhny Tapia had some stabbing fast shots.Poppa Camacho too.
When you say fast hands are you talking about pot shoting one punch thrown or are we talking about combos that are thrown fast and such.
Roy p4p was the fastest. A lot of people may disagree but I think Yurioukis Gamboa is the fastest handed fighter of the 2000's.

Roy clearly faster than Joe. As for p4p speed, gotta be Ali. I saw a documentary where they measured his soeed and found he was quicker than Ray Robinson. Thats saying something bearing in mind the different weights. Also dont forget Hamed. Watch his first knockdown of Belcastro. Nothing short of astonishing. He is not even that close to him when he throws the punch. Plus his final KO of Kelley. Kelley's whole body shook from that one punch. I think he is up there, and possible ahead of, Jones Jr in terms of pure athleticism (although failed to stick with it obviosuly)
How did they find out Ali was faster than Robinson who's prime is nigh impossible to find on film? Ali was amazingly fast, but his speed never dominated like Roy's did, Robinson also throw amazingly fast combinations and got incredible leverage on each punch which Ali didn't do. Hamed was pretty fast, but not on the elite, elite level.
hamed was fast but i agree not on the elite level, he threw punches from awkward angles more than rapid combos.
A right hand can take you round the block, A jab round the world.
Jones had the fastest out of the 2 mentioned but P4P ever?....
Meldrick Taylor, Hector Camacho, Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali are always front runners but in truth there are dozens that make it almost impossible to choose....
