    Russell Jr
    Khan
    Broner
    Mayweather still has it for single punches
    Martinez for a middleweight is still extremely fast.

    Amir Khan.. Seriously ridoculous speed. Watch the molina fight and you will see. There was one spell in the fourth round when he had molina backed up on the ropes..looked crazy.. you also see it in the second knockdown of oisin ***an.

    Garry Russell is second..that.combo he threw which everyone posts is impressive but hes a shorter fighter with shorter arms and still amir edges that speed.

    Andre Dirrell.

    Mentally he is weak. But he is extremely fast.

    No he does not edge Mr Russell.

    Amir is so reckless with his speed. He literally throws just for speed whereas Gary Russell not only places his punches, but puts weight behind them, and they're still blindingly fast.

    Russell > Khan in my book, based on my comment above.

    how does russell put weight on his punches.. hes so featherfisted.. atleast amir mashes up his opponents face.

    and yes he may be reckless and what not..but this isnt about that.. this is just assessing pure speed of the current crop of fighters

    Gary Russell looks faster than he is because he has very short arms. He's not that fast.

    Donaire is faster than Gary Russell.
