    Who's got slow handspeed?

    Margarito seems to rely on volume, power and wearing his opponent down. His handspeed occasionally looks very ordinary compared to other WWs. What other boxers get by with relatively slow handspeed?

    At 160, Pavlik's handspeed looks solid, but above that he begins to appear sluggish.

          you know what's funny, marga got the snail handspeed right, and so does baldo, they're the same size, and just as slow, i wonder where marga gets all the power from, when we all know punching power is a speed and weight thing.
          i can't think of a slower puncher than margacheato who does what he's done to opponents.

            Hartley has slow hands. I guess the list is Margs, Baldo, Hartley, Briggs. Valuev probably has fast hands compared to how big he is.

                  Valueev is painfully slow. Even for a man of his size.

                    Margs, Baldo, Hartley, Briggs, Valuev, Andrade is the official slow handspeed list. Hard to say Valuev is slow even for his size. Is there anyone to judge against? He's like an elephant.
