    Gary Russell Jr. HANDS DOWN!

    Unfortunately, his speed doesnt translate to the explosive power compared to the likes of Gamboa's or Berto's

    past: prime Roy Jones Jr
    present: No one outstanding. I'd probably go with Gamboa but what is more impressive about him is his footspeed.

    If we're talking pure hand speed, I'll shout out with Howard Davis Jr., Hector Camacho, Roy Jones Jr., Mark Johnson, Zab Judah, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (at 130), Ray Leonard, Meldrick Taylor (even though he gets overrated in this category), and Floyd Patterson.

    How many heavyweights had faster hands than Corrie Sanders? As outlandish as it sounds, he may be in the top 10 as far as quick handed heavies.

    How does Taylor get overrated? Everyone puts him up there amongst the fastest, which he was. If anyone gets overrated its Jones. Lighting for a SMW/LH, not up there with Camacho, Taylor, SRL

    Ali.

    Known historians Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton once measured the handspeed of Ali to that of Ray Robinson by counting the number of frames on the film it took to execute a jab. They concluded that Ali was faster than Robinson.



    Fastest hands: Camacho or Taylor for my money. Leonard and Jones not far behind.
