Who had quicker hands combined with power? PART TWO

Re: Who had quicker hands combined with power? PART TWO
I think it's either one of the Sugar Ray's or Roy Jones, and here is my reasoning:
Pernell is obviously out of this because he didn't have much power to begin with, but he was super fast. So, i think the point of this thread is to say, who has THAT kind of speed but also KO power. That speed is highly above average.
Roy jones was SO fast and he was KO'ing guys.. granted he may not have had the BEST opposition early to mid career, but he was still supernatural.
Tyson was huge and very fast for his size, but i don't think it's fair to include a heavyweight in this due to their shear size. so that also disqualifies Ali/shavers..
both of the sugar rays packed a lot of power, but were really known for their speed. thus putting them on the top.

Sugar Ray Robinson without a doubt because it wasn't just speed and it wasn't power only but leverage.

Sorry why is pernell up there? He didn't have very much power, and he didn't have truly elite speed either? It's unfair pitting him against guys like RJJ and the like.
Even Mayweather who was faster than Pernell shouldn't be up there because he doesn't have the combination of both power and speed.

Pernell Whitaker had underrated power, its just he didn't normally plant his feet. Because he was just looking to land fast shots with no power. Then use his brillant defensive skills to avoid punches, one example of his power was against Diosbelys Hurtado, that was one of the most brutal KO's i've ever seen.

Roy Jones Jr.
Blistering hand speed combined with knockout power.
