    Floyd had the fastest hands I've seen on a heavyweight, then Ali,and Tyson.

    Taylor and Jones take some beating. Old timer Johnny Indrisano was very quick handed.

    I always put Tommy Hearns as my number one. That right hand the few from his shoulder was the fastest punch I have ever seen. Actually, that whole fight his hands looked like a blur.

    Thomas was definitely fast, just not in the Ray Leonard, Howard Davis Jr. vein.

    Jones has to be in the top few.

    Ali was extremely fast for a heavyweight. Did things no heavy had done before and perhaps since.

    Tyson as quick as Camacho and a million times more powerful,
    its easy to throw fast arm punches

    If that's the case, I'm adding Michael Dokes as well.

    Yep! Dokes may have had the fastest jab ever. With poor defensive skills.

    Indeed:good! Outside of Page and Ali, don't think too many would come close to him in that department.

    Quick and uncommonly skilled. I think he's my favorite modern fighter...I love the way he outclassed another modern favorite of mine, namely Donaire.
