    With the exception of Tyson and Patterson, nothing further to add...

    By fastest do you mean handspeed? If so then RJ, Taylor, and Camacho Sr. are all pretty much tied for having the fastest all time hands.

    Coming in behind them would be Robinson, Leonard, Ali, Mosley, Davis, and Zab.

    I'd put Roid at first place because his fstest shots carried far more power than Taylor's and Camacho's. Those four-punch combos Jones threw against Brannon for example just to look good are something I have never seen done by anyone else

    Carlos Baldomir. His punches were so fast against Baldomir, it didn't look like he was actually throwing any.

    After seeing that video of Roy Jones throwing 5 left hooks in ONE second...

    The discussion begins and ends with him. No one else is relevant.

    Yep, agreed pretty much. Though since we talk about p4p, Muhammad Ali's combo against London deserves a mention. It is impossible to count those punches looking it normal-speed and Ali was a heavyweight

    I think there should be a "Do we need a super heavyweight division" thread pinned at the top. There should be one reply that says NO and it should also be locked.

    Although he is very fast, he doesn't belong in this list. Perhaps top 40 fastest p4p in history.
