    Hopkins probably fought 2-3 guys with better hand speed than him in 50 fights

    honestly pac's speed is way overrated. Most of his flurries are just arm punches, not fully extending and using his hips.

    Tarver, Hopkins and Vitali don't have average handspeed at all. Vitali is one of the fastest handed big men of all time. Tarver was almost as fast as Roy Jones in the fight fight and Hopkins in his prime was able to keep up with Roy Jones as well.

    Cotto looked faster than Mosley in their fight.
    Hopkins? Huh? On what Planet?

    Hagler and especially Hopkins had better-than-average handspeed.

    Hopkins's speed and athleticism get underrated. He doesn't solely rely on brains and old-school technique, he does have some quickness to back it up.

    Oh that reminds me, Pavlik's speed is pretty average.

    Something tells me you might have a Mexican bloodline.
