    Mitch Green might deserve a shoutout, even if he's not top 10.

    Michael Dokes had some fast hands. Tony Tubbs did too albeit without any real power.

    Tyson threw some of the quickest combinations I have ever seen to this day against Jesse Ferguson.

    Ali has to be a stand out, but I haven't seen enough heavyweight boxing to be able to comment properly.

    Herbie Hide had (and still has at cruiser) lighting fast hands, and to add to that, 97% KO ratio.

    Makes Julian Jackson's power (P4P) seem like Paulie!
