    From that list.....Shane Mosley at LW. We're talking strictly handspeed here, and I don't think any of those guys had faster hands than Shane at LW.

    I'm very suprised at anybody picking Floyd when Zab's hands were clearly faster than his when they fought. Floyd does have great reflexes, timing & accuracy, but Zab has faster hands....Hands down.

    I watched their fight yesterday and this is very true.
    The people who voted for Floyd, really should have gone for Zab if they thought about it.

    I picked Pacquiao myself, his hands speed has looked absolutely incredible his last few fights. Quicker even than Zab I think but I'm not sure.


    as a side note Zab also showed very, very good footspeed in the early rounds of that Mayweather fight. If he could fight for 12 rounds like he did the first 4 in that fight he'd be some fighter. I suppose that's the reason you get so many people talking of his wasted potential.

    I can get on board with RJJ if we're talking pound for pound. While I think there have been a few smaller guys with quicker hands, I've never seen anyone deliver full power shots from a distance as fast as he used to.

    Roy for sure...



    But on this list... Zab has the best handspeed...




    But the fact that Pac is winning this poll more than 2:1 with Khan in second place should be a real indication of the validity of ESB or any other boxing forum polls.... People generally vote for (a) who they like, (b) who is from their home, or (c) who is hot in the media right now.
