Macho time.Camacho at 130, one of the 5 fastest fighters ever and an argument for top 3. Like Bruce Lee, you almost had to watch him in slow motion to see what he was throwing and exactly where it was landing.
Lol at everyone saying Roy Jones. An average flyweight has more speed than him.[/QUOTE Speed relative to size is the only thing that matters here. A talented 80 lb. 12 y.o. has faster hands than your pick. Anyone can move their hands fast. No flyweight ever looked so much faster than their opponents as Jones did at middle. Lol yourself over to Youtube or something and watch some fights.
Easy call. Roy Jones Jr. At 160/168. Roy threw accurate power-shot combinations with real danger from all angles, often at distance. 5-6-7 hooks at once. One punch overhand right knockouts from 5 feet away. Smaller guys like Pernell, Meldrick, Camacho had shoe-shine speed with just enough power to get respect. Jones killed with his speed.

Amir khan If we're talking about pure straight shot hand speed, he is the fastest I've seen, that includes Roy Jones, Meldrick Taylor, Camacho etc.
No way he's faster than those three.
Meldrick Taylor
But like someone said the lower weights would have faster.
Meldrick threw lightning fast combos, they weren't KO shots, but enough power (at 140) to hurt. He was doing good with Chavez early and if he had stick and moved, instead of trading with Chavez, he might have won (should have anyways Richard Steele), but more importantly he wouldn't have had the prime beaten out of him. He would have been a top P4P fighter, but he was too tough or proud not to just box.
