    camacho, taylor, howard davis jr. pick any of those three and noone could say you are wrong. i personally lean a bit more towards camacho the 130 version.

    Just goes to show you how special RJJ really was. I mean everyone else in this discussion is way down in weight.

    fastest hands I would rank meldrick taylor and roy jones 1,2. BUt as far as speed and power mixed RJ has that hands down. If Rj took power off his punches I could only imagine how fast his hands wouldve been. But overall just raw speed Meldrick Taylors hands were ridiculous

    He was a little of everthing. A boxer, Fighter and a puncher(to an extent). He just had so much confidence in his handspeed that he got away with alot pre Chavez. Your perspective of things might seem that way especially if you see his post Chavez fights. It was the biggest little fight money could buy and thats saying alot, Ur talking about an era were Heavyweights still reigned supreme.

    Maybe Meldrick Taylor at his peak but in terms of a all time career at any weight RJJ just dazzels me. Hes going to be 40 in January and I believe he still has the fastest hands of any fighter out there maybe his feet have slowed but the hands wow. He gained 25 ibs mostly muscle to fight Ruiz and he was the fastest Heavyweight id ever seen. Roy is a phenom.

    I see what your saying but fast hands put combos together very fast. look at that clip one more time and then watch a clip of a primed Taylor,Mosley,leonard and Camacho put combos together. ROy might have been the most physically gifted overall though.

    Dont be such a sourpuss man, ease up:p Its just a question to see who people think had the fastest hand speed. Might not make him dangerous in your eyes but guys have gotten ko'd by fast punches they never saw comming.

    Yup. I think if he would have focused a bit more on actuall boxing skill the way PBF was taught he would have been even greater. I think He and Zab are boxers who relied heavily on reflexes and not so much orthodox Boxing tech.
