Who (Out of Hattons previous Opponents) had the fastest hands

Problem is not just the handspeed...Handspeed along does not make Floyd P4P....

Collazo, Tackie or any of those guys are fast but not PBF fast.......Floyd is also a better boxer then any of them.....

Hatton Needs to hurt that body early....

If Hatton gets away with mauling PBF, the handspeed difference might be less of a factor.

True. However, I think he's gonna get lasered by those straight rights of Floyds all night as he makes his way in.

Tackie was slooooooooooow

Yea after rewatching the fights I think Tackie is the quickest. The again, Castillo is pretty fucking quick.

Thats the thing that worries me. Floyd is pretty maul-proof. He doesn't really give you a limb to cling on to (given the way he covers up on the inside) and his counter shots there (like that beautiful whiped uppercut he's recently neglected) can feature against the smaller Hatton.

Magee was often lazy in bouts and could sometime appear languid, but when he decided to uncoil he did so with considerable velocity.

Over here Magee is fairly well respected, being one of the top Irish fighters i guess. But i personally never held him in high regard, to many flaws in relation to fewer postive attributes
