    I'm not even going to say Khan. I'll get murdered for it
    But currently, I do think Khan.

    Ever? No idea.

    I'll also say Patterson. Blinding combinations at his youngest.

    Jones Jr. and SRR also imo.

    Taylor, Patterson, they come to mind for me. Ali maybe not, but at times in the 60's he looks up there, inj glimpses anyway, which is insane because of his size.

    In fact Hector Camacho is up there.

    Yeah it was basically what his game was based around in his prime wasn't it? His hand speed, the skills weren't mind-blowing or anything, but the hand speed was. Great chin too.
