Who had the fastest hands?

[chamiley]

Pound for pound, Taylor in his prime, IMO, has the fastest hands, I have ever seen.

A mention goes to 'Terrible' Terry Norris, who had amazing hand speed, and one punch KO power to go with it...

Taylor wasn't even close to as fast as Roy Jones Jr. p4p... no1 was.

I would disagree, it was Taylor's blistering handspeed, that bedazzled opposition the quality of James McGirt and for a while, Julio Cesar Chavez. RJJ was a more rounded fighter, and used other tools in his excellent arsenal.

I still say that ROy JOnes Jr. is p4p alot faster... RJJ did have more in his arsenal, but he also had faster hands... Nobody can compete with him in that area in total hand speed... I never thought Meldrick Taylor's individual punches where that quick... he reminds me of Mosley.

I agree, I am in more of awe of fighters having incredible handspeed at higher weight and the speed that roy has never been duplicated by any fighter in past or present. He carried his speed to all the weight classes he moved up to and even has it for a guy in his late thirties. Shane's speed has diminished considerably over the years and as he moved up.

Roy Jones P4P had the fastest hands.
