Boxer with the all time fastest hand speed?

I agree but of course with Ali being 220 his hand speed was crazy at that weight.
I sat ringside in Dallas at the Pacquiao-Margarito fight, and Pacquiao's hands are 50x in person than on TV.
When I saw how fast he was throwing I was like...
Dude was hitting Margarito with 5-6 punches by the time I blinked once.

I gotta say Sugar Ray Leonard, Afro Era

I didn't include Pac because of the implications of PED use.
I should have put an asterisk next to Roy for that matter too.
Fastest hands?? 
yall must've forgot
My exact thoughts
Meldrick Taylor IMO.
His hand speed was crazy.

Y'all Musta Forgot!
Hector had real hand speed. But like others have said the combination of power and speed is rear and roy had that! I will have to side with Ray. I went to Pacman vs. Mosley ths may and yes he has hand speed. It was very impressive. The combinations he throws are crazy! With that being said I stilldon't think he can beat money may.
It's tough because it's across weight classes.
Looking into the camera, just pure hand speed it came down to Sugar Ray Leonard and Meldrick Taylor.
Pure hand speed and power, where I could see the opponent's head pop or body cave came down to Sugar Ray Robinson and Roy Jones Jr.
This is just my opinion. I am a Sugar Ray Robinson fan but I did forget how nasty Roy was with that hand speed. Good Lord.

Although he was not flashy at all, Howard Davis had some very quick hands that he used mainly for defense
Also, Johnny Bumpus had some of the fastest hands I've ever seen (or not seen)
Haven't paid boxing much attention in the last 15-20 years, so can't speak on the cats today

I had to say Roy
That nigga could throw that shit from the hip like it was nothing.
I used to practice that shit on my Shower curtain

I wonder how Meldrick's career would have been different if he beat Chavez
Macho Camacho used to be my dude when I was a kid. Used to love his ring entrances, outfits and cockiness more than him as a fighter. Dude used to pitty pat though.
For weight class compared to his contemporaries, Roy. Dude used to hit cats before they thought about throwing a punch.

The fastest hands goes to Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali. Ali could hit an opponent so fast by the time the opponent realized he was hit and ready to hit back, Ali was someone else int he ring. He could hit you with combinations while doing the Ali shuffle. He was in a class by himself. All the others are just imitators of the Greatest!
power and speed

So you remember that Montell Griffin fight too.
Thank's

Dude's punches looked like some street fighter shit...

There is actually a way the boxing world measures the hand speed of boxers. In the heavyweights Ali is ranked first. Surprisingly Tyson was ranked #2 among heavyweights.
I'm sure many lessor known boxers ranked up there but every thing else about their skill was banged up.
My vote for this thread goes to Robinson. The cats' first 40 or so fights were not filmed so we can never even know how good this guy was. Before his skills began to erode he was something like 121-1.
Just incredible.

co-sign.. i was like 13 when he beat the Griffin dudes ass in the 1st round.. it was after Roys first loss ever and it was due to a disqualification against the same dude... Roy beat his ass like he was a child... he was beatin him so bad in the 1st round that he looked at the ref... paused like are you gon fuckin stop the fight... gave the Kanye shrug
just cause it was a good fight.
Aaron Pryor vs Tommy Hearns as amateurs
Manny Pac before there was a Manny Pac.
Aaron was that intimidator.. Dude 's offense was his defense
Watch @ 1:02
