The fastest boxers of all time

[TheGreatA]

Those were shoeshine punches. I thought it was going to be full extension.

That's still impressive, but not overly. I still think Taylor could of done way more.

Davis Jr and Meldrick Taylor actually fought each other to a draw back in the 80's. Davis Jr was past his best but still significantly faster from a distance while Taylor's flurries dominated the action in close.

No it's kind of rare now.

I'd rate the two of them among the fastest ever. Davis Jr had his best days in the amateurs though.

Yep. I have that fight and it shows you that many comments on this topic are from people guessing and not knowing what the hell they are talking about.
