    I would agree but Muhammad Ali should have been on that list too as he had the fastest feet & fastest hands p4p if there is such a thing tho Jones & Taylors hands are faster than Ali`s outright/H2H tho not by much.

    Ps. there isnt a great deal between RJJ & MTs speed but Jones accuracy & power are far greater so he wins IMO.

    Handspeed Leonard or Taylor. All-round speed hand & foot Roy Jones.

    Calzaghe doesn't deserve consideration here, he has good handspeed but not amazing. I think Berto has faster hands of currently active fighters.

    Agreed...people overlook TooSharp in these discussions but he is easily as fast or even faster then any of the others mentioned.

    Howard Davis Jr had very impressive handspeed aswell.

    Its funny, people vote RJJ despite Joe dancing around his punches which havent slowed down, then, RJJ would unload 6 fast punches, by which time Joe landed 20, clearly Joe is the Usain Bolt of the handspeed world.

    F***ing Joe CALZAGHE is on there but youre missing Pernell Whitaker and Zab Judah?

    Calzaghe cant even throw hard punches when he flurries, he loads up for those

    Yet he threw 600 punches near enough in 60 secs, and he's not fast? Pathetic poster.

    Tommy Hearns hand speed was like lightning, with thunderous power!

    From your list I`d have to go with Jones Jr.
