Fastest Hand Speed In All Fighting Sport(s)?

[sterling]

I am no way dissing professional sports. But you have to at least know who Bruce Lee was and what kind of training and contribution he had even in boxing.

I am a fan of both pro boxing and the martial arts. In the streets, the functionality of boxing is different but very related. At one point he was clocked up to 11 hits simultaneously. And that is with power.

I have gone to numerous seminars with Guro Dan Inosanto who was one of the three trained under him with the certification to teach in the TAO OF JEET KUNE DO and JUN FAN JEET KUNE DO.

I am also a big fan of Muhammad Ali who was very fortunate to have seen THRILLA IN MANILA when I was about 7/8 years old when my father brought me to the fight.

That later brought an indelible mark towards my appreciation in the art of pugilism. And Ali and Bruce Lee personified boxing to the utmost in the ring and off-the ring.

yeh plus bruce lee was a amateur boxer i duno his record but he was supposed to be pretty dam good winning a few tournements in tokoyo etc.

PRO BOXING or not, it doesn't matter. You are mostly giving towards the label of a pro boxing commercially whereas martial arts have developed sophisticated-ly (if there is such a term) in the East long before the commercial pro boxing flourished in the USA. Bruce Lee studied under Yip Man who is a Wing Chun Master whereas Bruce Lee himself was an accomplished fighter.

I didn't bring up Bruce Lee into the topic but since it is on the table, then so be it. Hollywood has nothing to do with this but I humbly suggest that you look under Sigung Bruce Lee.

And so if the topic is strictly "PRO BOXING", then I concede but the author brought the names and the topic of "HAND SPEED". In that light, can't we talk about this?

P4P it's RJJ, and literally it's not that close. No one compares to his speed. No one threw the left hook repeatedly as fast as him.

Fedor? Give me a break. Tyson or Ali make him look slow. **** a lot of HW boxers throughout time make him look slow.

As far as Bruce Lee goes. He asn't as fast as RJJ, because I remember watching some show before where they said RJJ was much faster. Bruce Lee was so majorly over rated.

RJJ, hands down.
