fastest hands ever?

[edgarg]

I'd say, Leonard, Jones and Camacho. For sustained combos I'd say Camacho and Jones. Leonard would flag a bit after 4-5 and was a touch slower than the other two.. For individul speed punches i'd say Jones.

Or maybe Don King swiping a fighters paycheck.

brilliant wish i'd thought of that one

bro, if you put Malignaggi on your list, you would have to put Amir Khan on it too. Cause not only has Khan faster hands than Paulie, he also has twice as much power as Paulie.

well said...there's many more fighters there but like what I said, it's hard to mention all of them. I've forgotten Willie Pep and Thomas Hearns too...and Prince Naseem....and Aaron Pryor.

Ima say Leonard, Ali, Camacho, Jones, all had some incredibly fast hands.

Patterson is very underrated. Ali said he was the best "boxer" he ever fought, one of my favorite fighters. Was a really good HW and one of the top in his era until Liston and Ali came around.

Guy had no chin though.

I have to agree. He get's underrated because Liston smashed him to pieces twice in the first round, and Liston himself is underrated. Think of it like this, a young Foreman used to spar with Liston, and in his words Liston was the only guy he ever shared a ring with that he couldn't back up. A 45 year old Foreman was a top flite heavy in the 90's after a decade on the sidelines.

Actually it doesn't apply. Not at all. You can't compare any other sport with boxing because boxing has been on the steady decline, whereas football, basketball, and the rest of the main stream sports have been on the rise. So I stopped reading here, since you don't know what you are talking about.

The conversation is about who had the fastest hands, not who was the greatest boxer. Speed, a sole, isolated physical indicator. If u think athletes in ANY sport dont grow stronger, faster, more athletically gifted as the sport evolves, u dont know wtf you're talkin bout.

Judah was beating Floyd(a fighter im sure u would consider a ATG) to the punch for the majority of 6 Rounds until Floyd adjusted after realizing he wasnt gonna outspeed Judah. It doesn't prove Judah is a greater boxer than Floyd, it just simply means he had faster hands. Stop grabbin at straws and stay focused son

Roy and Camacho.

The reason I put Camacho over Taylor is that while Taylor had very fast hands with his flurries, Camacho could do that and throw ridiculously fast combos with leverage behind his shots as well, not just fast arm flurries.
