P4P Fastest Boxer in your opinion

Even though Meldrick Taylor had extremely fast hands, I'm more impressed with the speed of RJJ and Camacho in their primes. They not only could throw flurries with a lot of speed, but they could throw full-on combos with leverage extremely fast as well. Taylor's super fast combos were often arm punches, although not always (the one in round 10 vs. Chavez was great).

Camacho and RJJ also had quicker feet/legs.

 

An old Howard Davis JR:good.

 

Knew a fighter once who could box 5 rounds in two minutes-that's fast!

 

Prime 2008-2010 Manny Paq, too ****ing bad he never fought Mayrunner..

2nd, Ray Leonard...

 

Meldrick Taylor
Hector Camacho
Roy Jones Jr.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Pernell Whitaker
Manny Pacquiao

These guys never get mentioned for their speed but they were pretty fast in their prime handspeed wise:
Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson
Johnny Tapia

 

How can Floyd Patterson not be at the top .. exceptional combination punching speed ..

Tyson .. amazing

Ali
Robinson
Leonard
Camacho
Jones
Hearns
Duran at 135
Terry Norris
Jack Johnson
James Corbett
Larry Holmes
Evander Holyfield

 

F Mayweather in his prime...just watch the Gatti fight...

 

You'd probably have to figure out who the fastest were by division, and then figure out how much faster than their division each was. Just saying that Ray Leonard or Hector Camacho was fast doesn't mean as much considering how small they were. P4P Ali, Tyson, or Patterson might be even faster even though they were heavyweights. Roy Jones is a great pull for fastest light heavyweight. Who was lightning at middleweight?

 

Feet - Pep, Jones, Whitaker, Ali.

Hands - Jones, Griffith, Khan, Pacquiao, Patterson.

Overall Camacho and Tyson.

 

Also:

Bernard Taylor
Michael Dokes
Greg Page
Tyrone Crawley.

 

A few that should also get a mention.

Michael Nunn
Naseem Hamed
Don Curry

 

I'm glad the true GOAT Sugar Nicky is finally getting his just dues. The powers of boxing had to rob him in the ring to get him out of the way. He was an absolute speed demon in his blazing prime.

Roy Jones, Taylor and Leonard

Not saying he was the quickest but Hearns handspeed seems a bit underappreciated to me.

 

Iron Mike Tyson! A HW with speed of a very fast middelweight.

 

Lonnie Smith was very fast for a time.
