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

[QUOTE]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.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.Comment

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.Comment

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...Comment
