    Haye was a bit quicker than Valuev, I never fought Spinks has partcuarly fast hands, M.Tyson had quicker combo`s at heavy I know that much.

    The top 10 fastest are probably all bantamweights or smaller, realistically.
    Those little guys are ridiculously fast.

    I thought Spinks had the faster hands when he used them against Holmes, but Mike Tyson was more ferocious and explosive with his attacks making them appear faster

    Holmes spoiled against Tyson stopping him from getting off, the 1-2 that dropped Holmes from Mike was as quick as all the 1-2`s Spinks landed on Larry.

    Spinks was never fast, even as a heavy.
