    Who comes to mind?

    I would say Zab and Khan. Pac is close. Marquez isn't quite there, but his anticipation makes up for it.

    Nobody is that fast really. Bradley has some ok handspeed, but has a bad reach.

    Khan is a good pick but I wouldn't really consider Zab since he's a three rounder at best.

    Pac is equal, Zab and Khan are up there too. Marquez is not even close.

    Prime Zab had quicker hands. Think floyd has the edge ATM due to preserving his body better.

    :good

    Yeah, I think Marquez is a bit of a stretch, and there are probably others who should be mentioned ahead of him.

    What does being a "three rounder" have to do with it?


    Don't start with me again. :lol: You already know Zab was beating his ass to the punch and outslicking him badly, but that's another subject that we will never agree on. :lol:

    He beat him to the punch for three rounds then all went downhill which lead to a typical escape attempt from Zab, an intentional lowblow written in tears. You're the guy who gave Zab six rounds in the fight? :lol:

    Haha, Zab may be a 3 rounder but Khan is a 2 rounder!

    Good thing you are not a judge, try 8-4 at best, even if you count a kd floyd still wins.
