    Patterson had clearly faster hands than Ali or Tyson.

    Hearns was plenty quick, but he's not up there with the greats as far as handspeed.

    Howard Davis Jr and Meldrick Taylor. They fought each other to a draw in the late eighties.

    P4P, RJJ. Khan is up there too IMO, the only guy who clearly looks faster than Floyd, Pac, Judah and these guys have the fastest hands around his division. He's faster than Meldrick.

    P4P, I'd say Meldrick Taylor. Jones and Leonard are also up there.

    Ali, Patterson, and Louis at HW.

    I don't know if he should be ranked among the very fastest, but Shane Mosley at LW had really fast hands.

    :huh Tyson's speed was ridiculous. As fast as any top lightweight. At heavyweight that's quite astonishing.

    Roy Jones then Hector Camacho Sr.

    Although Meldrick Taylor was also extremely fast, RJJ and Camacho threw insanely fast combos with leverage behind them. Taylor often threw extemely fast flurries with arm shots. Camacho's speed when he dropped Bazooka Limon with full-on combinations was just insane.
