Yuriorkis, his speed is scary. I haven't been taken back by speed like that since I saw a younger Roy Jones.
Pac, Khan, Floyd and Dirrell all have blistering speed but Gamboa is something extra special in that area. The biggest thing is that it comes from nowhere. He takes his time and out of nowhere he blasts guy's with counter combo's that you have to watch in slow-mo to fully appreciate.
Gamboa gets my vote after satday, i was mesmerized!
After him its harder Pac and Khan have the fastest bursts imo while Berto and Floyd have quicker singles and 2 punch combo's.
Manny Pacquiao. his opponents always say he is so freakin fast. thats all you hear from his opponents in almost every division he fought..he can even maintain his hand speed thru out the whole 12 rounds while throwing more punches than the guys on the lists.
People need to take into account how meaningful these fast combinations are, like Pacquiao id say has power in his combinations where as id say Alexander has fast hands but no power. I think Kahn is more like Alexander with his hand speed than he is like Pacquiao.
But real hand speed (someone mentioned it above) it all about timing, personaly id go with Gamboa and Donaire these fighters just rip through people.
If it's just one punch, then I gotta say Floyd. It's just ridiculously impossible to predict when that right hand is gonna fire.
On a consistent basis though, Pacquiao bar-none! Let's be real here, Amir Khan spars with him and doesn't even come close. Gamboa appears fast because he is mugging tomato cans. When he rapes someone worth talking about, I will revisit the Gamboa argument for fastest hands.
So, I voted Pacquiao. You can predict his punches and where he is gonna go with it. Mothafuckas just can't get out of the way in time.
Super feather weight Mayweather, lightning, Gamboa does the same thing as may used to do, jab hook or hook hook with the same hand, boxers never saw either punch
I think Gamboa and Khan have the fastest hands, and maybe Donaire?
Mayweather certainly used to be as fast if not more, but he's not as quick as he once was.
On Sky sports they said Khan can punch up to 6 times a second in a fight.
6 1 inch punches?
