Amir Khan nowadays.

[The Underboss]

Meldrick lacked power, but his speed was pure lightning.

Naw hes up there....

Rigondeaux is faster..much faster.

[southcentralcar]

Zab still has the speed. He also has time to make a comeback hope thats what he'll do

[Liar]

Prime Roy Jones, not even close

[TheGreatA]

I left out a lot of fighters and a third part is in the process of being made someday. Still, it gives you an idea of who the fastest were.





It's difficult to judge "speed".

Meldrick may have been the fastest with short, little combinations in close but Howard Davis "outsped" him from a distance. Roy Jones was a great athlete in every way although there have been some to match him in footspeed, handspeed and reflexes but rarely all. Camacho had amazingly fast hands, so fast that I've been accused of speeding up his footage (and I haven't which can be proven by actually watching those fights). Patterson was a fast heavyweight but Ali was faster if you take into account his greater size. Willie Pep could throw 6 or 7 jabs, land them all and get out of the way. Robinson could throw triple left hooks and knock people out (unlike Jones whose triple lefts were usually only for the show).
