    For me it's RJJ. No one throws a full power shots from point a to point b as fast as he did. I'm not so much impressed by guys who throw more or less shoeshines in fast combos as I am with a guy just exploding with a lightning quick shot.

    GRJ I think is a good mention as well, it's probably not cool to mention him since he's not really accomplished much but pure hand-speed wise, he's shocked me more than anyone from current era. I mean seeing Khan, Pacquiao etc you think, yeah those guys are really fast. When I first saw GRJ, it was just like "WTF???"

    Howard Davis Jr

    Mark Too Sharp Johnson and Johnny Tapia were also pretty speedy at their best.

    Pound for pound ...easily Roy Jones Jr.

    look at 11.55 the fastest right hand with power in history. After the counter left hook he land is lithning right with power. and Reggie Johnson's head (jaw) had no time to move from the left hook impact at all

    Roy is number 1 and it's not close. His handspeed was in a league of its own.

    Second place goes to prime Camacho, third place goes to Leonard, and fourth place goes to Mel Taylor.

    From there it gets debatable, but I'd probably go Ali, Tyson, Patterson, Mosley, Judah, and Howard Davis.
