Who is the fastest fighter in boxing period ?

Boxingscene's favorite up and coming Heavyweight Andy Ruiz Jr is definitely up there.

13 pro fights....32 years old...dude hits you three times and is 45 degrees to your bad side before you realize what happened. I'm only a few years younger than him, but that speed is unreal. Im only a few years younger as well, so watch it, don't make me feel old. :(

Yea, Rigo is SO old, what are you, 12?13 pro fights....32 years old...dude hits you three times and is 45 degrees to your bad side before you realize what happened. I'm only a few years younger than him, but that speed is unreal.

honorable mention to Linares

Old ass Rigo and it isn't even close...maybe prime Zab was as quick as him...Khan probably has the fastest hands north of 130, but speed isn't everything. Yea, Rigo is SO old, what are you, 12?

I'm talking speed wise. My rankings go like this 1.Mayweather 2.Khan 3.Russell Jr 4.Alexander 5.Rigondeaux What an awful list. Trolling? Probably. Top 3 for me are Manny, then Floyd, then Rigo.

I dunno, bro. Josie Harris said his handspeed while throwing combos is still pretty legit. That was years ago though ;)

Are we talking handspeed or footspeed?

I was faster than all of them but I had zero punch resistance & couldn't fight. But boy was I fast. sup zab judah

Khan single shots GRJ combinations, but most of them a pitty patty punches. PAC if you want speed, combination and power.

Rigondeaux. I wont say russell until he steps up. Mayweather once upon a time, not anymore tho.

No offense but its been years since Mayweather's handspeed was considerable to be #1. Granted its still quite fast but his combination speed is nothing like it used to be. I dunno, bro. Josie Harris said his handspeed while throwing combos is still pretty legit.

:lol1: @ Mayweather in the top 5 1.Russell Jr 2.Khan 3.Gamboa 4.Pacquiao 5.Who cares Imo Mayweather's single right hands against Guerrero looked pretty fast to me. Yeah his combination punching is no where as fast but he rarely does that anyway.

Well we know how quick mayweather is, but we don't really know how fast his combos are anymore because he usually pot shot for most of the fight. When it comes to pure speed, the fastest in boxing today has to be Gary Russell. Khan is a very close second.

Russell Mayweather Gamboa

PAC is faster then all of them besides Russell Jr, but anyone can look like the flash against TBA
