Dont forget Floyd Patterson, his left was synchronised faster than Ali's.

Other speedsters are:

Zab Judah

Peak Naseem Hamed

Peak Chris Eubank

Oscar De La Hoya

I'll have a think over lunch for some more.

Oh and reasons why they were fast................part good genetics, part speed specific training and part plain hard training!

Speed Limit =100 mph.
Hector Camacho was once quoted as saying "You've just seen the 2 fastest fighters in boxing tonight" vs. Howard davis jr. in the 80's...He was right. Nobody was ever faster than these 2. Davis never won a pro title but beat Aaron Pryor 2 times in the amateurs and was outstanding fighter in 1976 Olympics, considered best American squad ever (Cuba was there). Others fast fighters after these 2 were:
1) Meldrick Taylor
2) Pernell Whittaker
3) Ed Hopson
4) Jorge Paez
5) Roy Jones
6) Mayweather
7) Yoriorkis Gamboa

Difficult question.

Boxing historian and fightfilm collector Jim Jacobs once analyzed the speed of Muhammad Ali to Ray Robinson. He watched film frame-by-frame and concluded that the jab of the heavyweight Ali was faster than the jab of welterweight Sugar Ray.

Whatever...Camacho and Davis punched so fast and often, I doubt the punchStats could keep up by todays standards. Ray Leonard vs. Hagler in 1987...Leonard through about 800 punches in that fight...and he danced way more than he punched...proof that he was pretty fast with them flurries. I don't know where I'm going with this. Camacho and Davis were the fastest boxers up to this point.
