    pure handspeed I'd say Berto was faster, but its only an advantage if you can put it to good use.

      even today I would say Rigondull and Gamboa might have faster hands

          It's all up for debate I suppose. It wouldn't surprise me if they were faster given the fact they are much lighter and smaller. But with my naked eye, it's really hard to tell at that point.

            Haven't seen berto fight, so i can't comment on that. But wouldn't it be great if the Discovery Channel would ask various boxers and record their speed/punching power etc?

            Kinda like fight science where they could determine the hardest punch per weight category, or punch speed etc.

              berto and pac are only fast because they only fight come forward brawlers. put them in with a slick african american like zab judah and they would be knocked out cold instantly.

                I actually think Gamboa and Dirrell are faster than Berto..

                    To be honest...he seems faster than Pac. Doesn't throw as many combos as Pac though...

                      He is really fast but not as fast as Pac, Mayweather, Khan imo. With his big arms and speed he can look really explosive.
