Fastest hand-speed we have ever seen

Of course the further down in weight, speed becomes obligatory, but the fastest pair of hands I ever saw did belong to that of a flyweight. Halimi Gutierrez, a Mexican flyweight had absolutely blinding speed. I was lucky enough to see him fight a number of times on tape delayed telecasts from the early 70s, one which was his non-title 10 rounder with world champ Erbito Salavarria. No exagerration, his hands were like a blur. He dropped Salavarria in the 4th round with a left hook and no one was sure of which punch did it. I don't think the matter was settled until they replayed it on slo-mo. He won that fight but did not get a rematch for the title. Such was the way things were. That's my vote, for what its worth, for fastest hands.

 

**** how'd I forget Miguel Canto?

 

yes, perhaps someone at Superfly but in general no, the little guys have this. They can’t compete in terms of power and the bigger guys can’t compete in terms of speed. It’s really pretty simple

 

Howard Davis Jr.

 

Tubbs was lighting at Hw .

 

How is that relevant?

Also, we don't know that do we?

How many world class southpaws did Joe face in his career?

 

Camacho, Leonard, Jones, Mayweather

 

Maske was considered the fastest east of the Oder.

 

Of course Reggie Johnson was a world class fighter.

What are you talking about?

 

Pac, had power too. Super fast fighters with no power shouldn't count.
