Floyd Patterson probably had the fastest hands of any HW
Fastest hands of all time.

It's Taylor. RJJ was faster all around but pure hand speed goes to Taylor. P4P I'd back Ali, Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson had faster combinations but their hands were way shorter.Comment

Sugar Ray Robinson. Speed is what he was know for and his first 130 fights or so attest to that...Comment

I'm sure there were fighters in the 1930s and 40s that were incredibly fast, but it's hard to compare to the moderns because the film footage was poor.
Roy Jones, Meldrick Taylor, and others born into our era of high technology, we can capture their speed clearly on film.
It's scary when a guy's punches look regular speed in slow motion.Comment

Yeah those where the good old days mostly.He never had a real top tier trainer, but the moment he went with having no trainer and going up for no damn good reason he fkd himself up. He still doing the same trainer wise so probably he's about to get axed. Khan is up there too, probably as fast but the power isn't quite the same. Both of them in the Olympics where ******ly fast.No doubt about it. Gamboa had great speed, great combinations and great power in both hands. That was a real treat to watch. I don't think Khan even compares with him for throwing fast, accurate, effective combinations with crushing power. Gamboa never really lived up to his potential. If he was correctly managed and trained and matched at his best weight he should never have lost a fight.
There are so many other guys as well, but it's hard to say definitely who was the best most effective fastest puncher since it happens so damn fast.Comment
