    I don't remember Floyd throwing too many blazing combos during his career, especially during the so-called "TBE" era. He seemed like a one punch at a time guy. :eek:

    Possibly Vinny Pazienza in his lightweight prime.
    Welterweight Thomas Hearns.

    Lot of good names mentioned already. Mayweather was so fast it's hard to say faster but on the level with him.

    I'll add in Johnny Bratton, his right hand was lightning, beautiful lead rights with power

    Plenty of guys with faster hands than Floyd. Floyd was quick as a rattlesnake with that lead and the counter right but he stopped throwing combos well before he hit superstar status. PAC, khan, Judah, grj, Gamboa. That’s just some guys from Floyd’s own era.
