    Most people believe that Manny Pacquiao has the fastest hands in boxing, however I believe that Yuriorkis Gamboa has better overall speed. I don't think that I've seen hand speed like his since Meldrick Taylor. What do you guys think?

    Id say Gamboa and the comparisons with Gamboa to Taylor is rather fair. Their speed leaves them reckless that opens alot of holes and forces them to plant their feet when throwing.

    Manny is 147 pounds now. Of course he's not as fast as Gamboa.

    *******ation in full effect. Nah, he could not just leave it be that another man has faster hands than your man. You got to throw in the extra.. and oh yeah *******.. Pac is reckless after he throws his combinations and is always out of position and thats why he gets counter punched to **** by counter punchers.

    Gamboa may be faster but reckless, Manny's Punches are fast and they flow like water.

    Water...lol.. they flow but all that flow dont mean **** when 3 out of 4 punches miss. That is not a good water flow. Gamboa actually connects fast combinations when most of that punches ****ing land... and really flow.. The double left hooks....:rofl

    actually Manny is quite accurate, if your basing your claim off the Clottey fight look a little deeper.:deal

    I think Gamboa's hands are faster and appear to be more fluid but Pac is faster overall because of his fast foot and leg movements.

    Gamboa has faster hands than any version of Pacquiao from any weight class.

    I am not basing my claim off the clottey fight. I am basing it off of any fight. He is a career 30% accuracy fighter. Only recently that he been fighting drained fighters and dudes that stand right in front of him with shitty defense that he increased his numbers.

    Im not arguing Gamboa is faster im simply stating IMO Manny punches effortless especially at splitting the guard and punching around the guard and he does it with power and makes it look very natural.
