    Default Who had the fastest hands?

    roy jones
    shane mosley
    meldrick taylor
    floyd mayweather
    hector camacho sr
    zab judah
    sugar ray leonard
    Ali

    I would give the edge to roy. plus he had it at higher weights and carried it to each of the weight classes he moved up to.

    Your list matches mine perfectly except I would not give the advantage to Roy. It would have to be between Meldric Taylor and Shane Mosley, both of those fighters moved like the flash, they were both faster than Jones but remember they were also alot smaller. You could add Terry Norris on the list also

    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...

    As an amateur he had blistering hands, but believe it or not, virtually zero KO power (12 stoppages in 155 wins).

    gotta say Malignaggi and Khan have very fast hands
    but from your list Sugar Shane
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I should slaughter you for saying anything good about Malignaggi

    Hate to say anyone was faster than RJ but Meldrick Taylor if you have to pick from that list

    Not as fast as his legs, when Rosario started landing his right!!!

    But you are right, in his pomp (83-85), his hand speed compared to anyone's.
