Tough call. There have been so many. Meldrick Taylor and Roy Jones probably pulled the trigger faster than anyone if you force me4 to choose, but damn! Anybody remember an ESPN fighter named Eddie Cook? He had some fast hands if I remember correctly.

For handspeed in a fight Meldrick Taylor was incredible. Recall he didn't punch with body or power, he was all arm and it was one of the most amazing displays to behold. Roy Jones or Ray Leonard are 2nd or 3rd in a tossup beyond those three I don't think too many were close.

In reflexes gotta be Ali. Roy Jones or Pernell Whitaker in the followup. Again no slight to any other fighter but Ali had an uncanny ability to avoid punches the same way Spiderman had spidersense or whatever precognitive ability it was...Ali consistently did all the wrong things fundamentally and got away with them...even when he was old lol.

Only other adds I think really deserve mention on that inital posted list would be Howard Davis and James Toney. Solid list though!!

[Tony Jones]

Most of the main guys been mentioned it seems so i'll throw in one of my fav fighters, Joan Guzman.
