    Fastest Welterweight Ever?

    Who would you think was the welterweight with the fastest handspeed ever?

    My vote would be for the one and only Thomas Hearns. Leonard you could say was faster, but Hearns had one of the quickest jab's I've ever seen. Match that up with the best right hand in the history of boxing and you have a great, great fighter.

      That's garbage. Floyd wouldn't even be top 5 P4P for fastest hands.

            floyd is lightning quick
            his handspeed is great, but it wasnt as impressive as hearns, bc hearns packed such a huge punch so quick
            watching floyd, i actully think his handspeed is faster than hearns
            p4p handspeed is rjj imo

              Ray Robinson deserves a mention also. His speed was extraordinary, not only that but He threw his combo's so well and all the punches were coming from different angles.

                I don't think so. It's alot easier to look dazzling with your speed againt lesser fighters like RJJ has done, and PBF post-135. Floyd isn't on the level of Camacho, Hearns, Leonard, Robinson etc. just yet.

                  true, he also packed a big punch for how fast his handspeed was
