    Green and Snipes?

    Snipes had decent hand speed i don't know if i would say FASTEST hands and do you mean Mitch Green? If you are i disagree.

    Holy had good hand speed but seemed to be a hair slower than the other top guys :bbb

    Not that it mattered as Holy used his punches overall better than most top guys :rasta

    RRJ is a tough call for me at heavy just because he had so few fights, what was it one fight?

    If we include him then yes for sure he is at the top of the list.

    RJj is about as much as a heavyweight as Patterson.I wouldn't count anyone under 200 pounds as legit here,lets make it a bit fair for the modern guys who pack on more mass.

    i agree that Haye is super fast, i am just aware that people on here discredit him altogether,,,

    who the hell is Green? Am i having a seniors moment?

    Snipes had good speed. Younger Mitch Green was very fast.

    If slapping is classed as punching then yeah he did have decent hand speed.

    He did not do much with them, but Leroy Jones deserves consideration.

    Hes certainly fast but slightly Heavyhanded type like Morrison a tad step behind...230 pound lewis had more speed though I would have to watch the vids again.
