proof and link? Dude... I don't know where it was, it was years ago. I said I saw the study and I said I believed it. Google fastest boxing hands or something, maybe you can find it, or find a new one... who ****ing knows. I don't want to search through 9,000,000 articles to find it. You're not worth it.
Agree with you about Taylor. He was damn fast but threw a dozen punches of which about one was a solid one. Agree with the rest as well.
I thought it would e between Camacho and Taylor, Roy Jones would be the fastest pot shotter, but like has been said it's because of them shots having ko intentions, a bit like Leonard's left hook on the stationary target, like Pea said. But purely for speed, even if he was flash without substance a lot of the time, Hector Camacho must be up there.
If you don't want to post sources, then number one - don't bring these studies up, and number two - try picking your words more carefully next time, rather than saying he's 'obviously' the fastest guy and asking 'why is it even up for debate'.
I'm feeling bad now about no Jones Jr, Ali, or Tyson. Those guys will get their own speed thread when this one runs its course. This one's for the little guys.
How the **** does that invoke you into thinking I have some goddamned study queued up to prove to your dumbass that he was the fastest. Looks to me like I said I didn't want to argue and didn't remember where the study was. Read this **** before you get so ****ing annoying and persistent.
And nothing that came afterwards registered with you? Look dude, you have the rest of your lifetime to prove me wrong, or you can shut up and leave the statement as what it was. Me reading something, remembering it, and recalling it. I'm 27 years old. I have read a billion things in my life, and maybe 40% of it I remember where it was. Especially with boxing articles. You can assume I made it up and go about your day, that would be the intelligent thing. I will not be offended. I don't care.
I didn't say you made it up - or at least not initially. You made these claims of a study and I merely asked if you had a source, was that really enough you for to fly-off the handle?
I know he may not be that great but Zab Judah should be added to the list IMO...He might not have the right mind frame for a fighter but the man has blazing hand speed! NO one can deny that.:good
Defo, he was faster than Floyd for handspeed when they met, if fast fighters like Mosley can be on there than Zab's in there for sure
Off the handle? I think you're mistaking my immediate responsiveness as some sort of aggressive gesture. The issue is you did exactly what I said I didn't want to deal with. I left the openess of the comment so you could say "Oh this guy doesn't even remember where he saw it" but you had to dig like I was trying to pull something over on you. I consistently expressed that I didn't care if you believed me, but you made it seem as though I should. Don't task me to look **** up for you or provide you with some sort of evidence of something that I said I didn't give a **** if you believed. That is annoying. That's like me saying "my dog died, I don't want to talk about it" and you telling me "don't bring up your dog dying unless you want to talk about it"
Good point. I tried to go back to the advanced edit button to add some more names but couldn't figure it out. Zab, despite what anyone thinks of him now, has great hand speed and should be on there.
No? That's me calling you out on giving me a task for your sake. It's just rude language that I use when I get annoyed.
