Fastest hands between these fighters?

[daggum]

carl froch not on the list? poll irrelevant.

[illmatickid]

since you said hands i will say pacquiao

but handspeed is different from all around speed, and reflexes
if that were the case i'd give it to floyd

[jthoang]

Roach has said that Khan has faster hands than Manny.

[screwhead1]

floyd is probably the fastest...a tie between gamboa and pac second...khan would be third...chad is quick...but i don't think he comes close to the speed of the smaller guys...i think that zab judah should be on there too...i really think he's the fastest active boxer around...

Well, you can't prove that, and really neither can I. But they both have had lots of flash knockdowns at those weights from their speed so we can safely? assume they are equal? Yes Cotto and Oscar weren't fast, but at the time he unloaded in them with that speed, it was more than halfway, and they were already beaten to crap prior. The fact that he maintains his speed still late has to count for something? And above all, he uses it to out do his opponents size advantages.

yeah, Im not going to hate. Pac is a fast ass dude. Really, there is nothing better to me then seeing a speed matchup. Thats why I cant wait for Floyd-Mosley and the winner against Pac. Clottey's hands are a little faster than people give him credit for so Pac better watch out. Then again, Cotto was beating Clottey to the punch alot so maybe Clottey better watch out, lol

Well obviously the smaller guys will be the fastest, Gamboa IMO is the fastest out of that group, against Mtagwa he was unbelievably fast, there was just a blur and then you saw Mtagwa reeling around, another blur and he's down, insane.

they have smaller arms and hands so with proportional muscle mass they should have force that will make them punch faster. Now about those lifespan, I haven't really think about the reason why but I agree that heavy weight fighters have longer boxing lifespan.

Well not every lighter weight fighter has smaller arms which enable them to be fast. There are TONS of fighters with lanky arms and are pretty damn slow even though they are light weight. But if your talking about fighters with shorter arms can generally throw quicker, then yes that's generally true. But a lanky fighter can still shoot out a punch VERY fast, he just can't pull it back and maintain the rate like a shorter arm fighter could. Corrales and a fighter like Pavlik come to mind. Occasionally firing off a blinding straight, but that's 1 punch.

More like opinion because we have no way to really gauge it. I think for pure speed it's Gamboa or khan, pac, pbf, chad. Pac's combos, i think is better than the rest because there is an intent to knock you down with every punch not just pitty pat or a flurry to dissuade an opponent going in.

Pac does NOT have faster hands than Gamboa or Dawson.

Pac throws fast combos, but his handspeed is a level below Gamboa, Khan, or Dawson.

I would even say Judah and Mayweather are slightly faster. With Pac it's about his combos.

Amir Khan hast the fastest hands. But he lacks the accuracy of Floyd and the power of Manny though.
