    I was watching a film study on Saunders v Eubank and Saundders was much quicker yet some have said Eubank has really quick hands, Saunders has improved since their bout and showed really good hand speed in his last bout, is therre anyone quicker at 168 right now?

    Used to be Andre Dirrell by miles. It's Benavidez now though, by the same distance.

    Billy Joe was much faster than Eubank when they met but got countered throwing his jab because he overcommitted when throwing the jab he has since corrected that and would completely outbox the slower Eubank now.

    I saw Plant fight and he gets hit a lot more than Saunders, I feel he has slower reflexes.

    Plant is the fastest to answer the question “who is the fastest 168”
    I saw nothing in the topic about who gets hit the least.
    Kevin Newman is faster then bjs.

    Benavidez isn't much shorter at 6' 1½"
    Uzcat is 6' 2", Ramirez is 6' 2½", Dirrell is 6' 2" and Smith is 6' 3" even.

    I thought you were joking, none of those fighters have the build to carry Ruiz`s weight and still be fast, Tommy Hearns could not have beaten AJ at heavy and Holy could not have fought at 168.
