    He was going to be my choice. I'd say there's two, him and Jones. Reason being that from an actual viewing point, Davis' hands are the quickest I've seen on film. But considering the force that Roy was able to put behind his punches, it's probably him P4P.

    Interesting to note how many of the guys listed were caught using "artificially enhanded" speed

    Agree, R. At 130 Camacho, Sr. had blinding hand speed

    I don't think it should be a factor. We're discussing pure speed, not a combination of different attributes.

    Camacho, for pure hand speed, is the fastest that I've ever seen on film.

    All I'm saying is, that if Roy didn't sit down on his punches as much, maybe he would have appeared faster.

    If Jones appeared any faster than we'd have to start questioning what planet he come from.

    Its between Camacho and Taylor.

    I can't really split them.

    Roy is lightning ass fast, but not really with these two, I don't feel. He was heavier, its not his fault.

    LOL your joking right? Taylor made Mcgirt look like an old Yori Boy Campas when they fought. Yey i know your talking about Mcgirt/Whittaker but Taylor was super blazing in every fight during his prime including the 1st Chavez fight.

    Taylor wins this for me over everyone.

    How is Camacho Sr. not in the poll? At 130/135, he had faster hands than all of them.

    Compared to the others Pep, Patterson and Ali look as slow as molasses. Pep didn't have that fast hands ever relative to his size.
