    Judah is not only fast, he also has some serious firepower, and great skills. He's the best fighter there is for 5-6 rounds. Then he turns ******ed. sad case.

    Zab just falls apart mentally. The guys got amazing skills but got serious issues.

    Don't be ridiculous. Joe wasn't even in the top 30. Flapping one's wings at high speed can't be equated with punching hand speed.

    you obviously know nothing about boxing if you honestly believe Calzaghe dosnt belong anywhere near the top.not just his handspeed alone,but the amount of punches he threw,the variety and his ability to time ,move in and change angles making it difficult for his opponents to read and respond to what he was gonna do next.the guy just possessed great overall quickness and wouldnt have been able to dominate the opponents he has if he were a plodder.

    In his prime, Roy Jones had the fastest hands on the planet. I'm sure i watched a doc. where he threw a 6 punch combo in just over 1 sec.
    There are a few speed merchants today, but for speed with power and precision, I'd say Mosely, when he's on his game.
