    I go with Floyd. IMO he has one of the fastest hands out there. Khan is fast too though I am not taking anything away from him. But, the only person who I think is faster than Floyd is Pac.

      Floyd is very fast. I'd say his movement is faster than Khan's, much faster in fact, but I'm not sure about the actual punch speed. I do remember Pac saying Khan was one of the fastest guys, if not The fastest, he'd been in the ring with.

        Amir Khan has faster hands.

        Floyd probably seems faster to opponents (which is the most important) because of his unpredictability, feints, and his already fast hands.

          Dificult to judge because of their styles.

          Floyd times his single shots so well. Disguises his left hook. His counter right is very fast, ut its more about timing and distance.

            From what I've heard--Amir is faster than Pacquiao overall but Pacquiao uses his experience to beat him in sparring.

              Its impossible to know who has faster hands but PBF applys his hand speed to boxing much better then just about anybody in boxing history.

                i think its floyd. i mean khan throws in more flurries where it helps him to distract fighters with an abundance of punches, where floyd pot shots and fighters still cant defend against them well. i got floyd being way faster, i know a lot of people hate on floyd and pretty rightfully slow but c'mon guys this guy is crazy gifted.

                  amir khan is faster
                  you could half mayweathers speed and he would still dominate most of the top fighters out their,just because hes so smart
                  half amir khans speed,or pacquioas speed for example,and they become b-level fighters
