    From that list, I go with Meldrick Taylor narrowly over Ray Leonard. Hector Camacho should definitely have been on the list though.

    For all-round speed (foot and hand), Camacho and Roy Jones were the top men IMO.

    Tyson had ridiculous handspeed in his prime.Just throwing that out there. Like Ali fast. That is what made him so devastating. But I go Roy Jones - his speed was truly dazzling and what is more every punch had big time power behind it too. I like Taylor's speed too and Leonard. Really, really hard to decide this one to be honest.

    Jones in terms of single punch speed maybe the fastest, but he did not throw combinations quite as consistantly as some of the others mentioned so its hard to say.

    No Patterson is a huge failure. Out of those?

    RJJ or Taylor.

    Tell me patterson's handspeed isn't absolutely absurd, especially for a LHW/HW:
