Which boxer had the fastest combos in history

[Thaim]

Meldrick Taylor is good, also Muhammad Ali.

Leonard, if we're going to just pick one. I haven't seen faster hands put together 3, 4 or 5 punch combinations, switch up from head to body and back to head again and throw every punch imaginable, not to mention, he did it against some of the very best fighters ever. It's all well and good to throw combinations against c or b level opponents but to do it against great fighters and to be clearly faster, that's something else.

Duran threw some nice combos as well in his prime

yes i agree with you in hearns 1 he was able to let his combination punching in very hard blasts when he was able to get under tommys effective jab to end the fight and his flurries where he may not have hurt hagler were timed at the ends of rounds to impress the judges

[Mr.MojoRisin']

I've been watching a lot of Sugar Ray lately so of course I'm going to throw his name in.

[dan_cov]

Of all-time I'd say Roy Jones Jr.
Honourable mentions; Meldrick Taylor, SRL, Hector Camacho, young Floyd Mayweather Jr - probably not a popular choice but young Floyd when he let his hands go in combination had blurring handspeed.
Fastest today I'd probably have to go with Gary Russell Jr.

[ShoulderRoll]

Yuriorkis Gamboa was very fast for a brief period of time earlier in his career.

Not just the Hearns fight but his first, big international bout against Benitez or the war with Duran, not to mention in his final years against Lalonde.

[The plunger man]

Meldrick taylor was quick with his hands but leonard had power to go with his speed.....dave boy green, andy price and thomas hearns 1 were examples of blazing hand speed but it was his punch selection to head and body what was so impressive
