Ray Leonard had unbelievably fast hands when he was coming up through the welterweight ranks after the Olympics. Hell, I remember Ricardo Lopez as having incredibly fast hands and reaction time in his prime, and Roy was about as fast.

    The 1-2 that Roy dropped Reggie Johnson with was one of the fastest two-punch combinations I have ever seen. Roy was way faster than Joe, but Roy was not as fast as prime Meldrick Taylor.

    The only person who I can think of as being definitely faster than Taylor was Eddie Cook. He was fighting Israel Contreras for the WBA bantamweight title and his hands were so fast I almost couldn't see them land. The guy was unbelievable.
    Eddie Cook did have fast hands. But the fastest hands i ever seen belong to Ed Hopson. Nobody could match his hand speed.
    Very true but Jones' were all power punches which was what made his speed so unique.
    terry norris was like that too. power and speed

    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.

    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.

    Norris is a good choice.
