Russ Anber: Top 5 hand speed

[The Hammer]

Prime Joe Calzaghe had very fast hands, and still does although he's pushin' age 37.

Everybody here seems pretty biased in favor of new/current fighters. Where are the oldtimers in this discussion?

Tony Canzoneri: Watch him knocking out Jackie Kid Berg with probably the fastest left hook I've ever seen. Too bad he couldn't put it together consistently and lost to a bunch of guys he shouldn't lost to.

Canzoneri beat a who's who of great fighters from the 20's and 30's. One of the 25 or 30 best p4p fighters ever, in my opinion.

Oh yea I forgot to put down my List LOL

1. Roy Jones
2. Leonard
3. Ali
4. Meldrick Taylor
5. Greb (haven't seen him fight so I'm just guessing here)
6. Robinson
7. Mosley
8. Judah
9. Gans
10. Conn

Excellent list. I think a lot overrate Robinsons hand speed. He was fast as hell, but there were a lot of guys faster throughout history. I would go so far as to drop him another spot and find space for Floyd Patterson.

My top 5:

1-Meldrick Taylor
2-Roy Jones Jr
3-Zab Judah
4-Ray Robinson
4-Ray Leonard

Some more oldtimers with really fast hands who should recieve consideration:

Midget Wolgast
Benny Lynch
Jimmy Wilde
Bob Montgomery
Ismael Laguna (not an oldtimer)

For me its Leonard

Young Muhammad Ali had fast hands, but not the fastest ever IMO

i think SRR and SRL both had faster hands.

RJJ may very have the fastest hands ever. To this day, they are rediculous. I mean just watch that Hanshaw combo where he knocked him down. I mean, that **** is almost Inhuman. amazing stuff, especially at age 39.

And Mayweather is not where close to one of the fastest fighters ever IMO. Zab Judah has faster hands guys...

Guys who dont get recognized enough for their hand speed: Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.
