fastest hands ever....

Cooper's double left h00k was among the fastest of alltime.

 

As were the combinations of Michael Dokes early on.

 

Meldrick Taylor, followed by Sugar Ray.



I'm not putting n SNV, because he's an obvious choice and its gonna get pretty redundant.

 

you know where the General Forum is

 

Howard Davis, Jr. hasn't come up yet, and deserves a shout. He was described by eyewitnesses from Montreal on through his peak (likely the June 1983 stoppage of Coverson) as the fastest man in boxing. He was already a veteran of 30 when he drew with a rising 19 year old Meldrick. A peak for peak showdown might have been the supreme speed versus speed match of all time.

How about Beau Jack ? Not the fastest, but deserves a mention....

 

I like that there was no speed in the game before 1957.

 

The world was also in black & white till then as well .
here is a huge lack of footage of boxers of the past compared to what we now have.

 

Meldrick Taylor

 

I would say a prime RJJ. It was not human how fast he landed.

 

Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Meldrick Taylor.

 

Jones Jr.

 

To this day its still Camacho, Sr. from 1983 against the shot Bazooka Limon..... Camacho was fast as lightning all around.....

MR.BILL:deal

 

Meldrick Taylor
Roy Jones
Cassius Clay
Ray Leonard
Hector Camacho
Fast Eddie Hopson reminded me of Taylor but for some reason didnt go far in the pros although he did win a vacant title over a no name. Then was kod by Tracy Patterson
Johnny Tapia really in his prime can you think of many that were faster than him considering he was a JB,Bantam in his prime?
Mark Johnson- Alberto Jiminez dare you to find 2 flat out faster fighters,at least on that night.
Howard Davis
