    My first inclination is Roy Jones, but I can't help going with Meldrick Taylor, especially considering he's a lot smaller.

    Garcia is so fast you often literally can't see entire punches by him without replay/knowledge to observe said punch. Anybody voting on this poll should watch this video

    Leonard followed by Jones.
    Khan also had rapid hand speed.

    Khan could get knocked out by a gentle breeze but he had amazingly fast hands

    Khan was really fast but I had a cat who loved to fight and his paw speed was a blur when he was striking other moggies.

    Hand speed is relative to how fast you throw your punches

    Ryan Garcia is very fast and unfortunately underestimated. I think he beats Davis too.
