Top 25 Fastest Boxers That Will Never Be Forgotten

came to see some lightning fast punches, prepare to see about a million and in quick succession, welcome back to another top 25 countdown here on Boxing Legends TV, today we present the definitive list of the most elite rapid fire pugilists of boxing. It feels like forever since I've uploaded one of these, but today's video

will

stand out above all the others, before and after clips, performance cards, key stats and most importantly, a migraine for the poor guy. man who had to share the ring with the fighters

will

be ranked pound for pound so you can We may see some bigger guys, a little slower, but I can assure you that to make this list you first have to be a speed demon of the highest level.

We have the currently active George Linares, there are only a handful of fighters on the list. They are still involved in the sport today, but I think it's fair to say that the lightweight warrior has proven his deadly fast hands on a global level long enough for the good days of performing to continue. He can take 1012 punches together, Payton, now something if you're wondering who. Hell, Eddie Hobson is, don't be alarmed. In fact, I can imagine there are some hardcore fans watching this. Think about the same. Well, it was obvious that you couldn't, that he couldn't, couldn't deal with Eddie Hopson's hands and feet.

Tonight, another step in the development of any jump, now back to Sam, this once outstanding amateur teenager failed to leave much of a legacy as a professional. Honestly, he had the tools to be an elite champion, but he was

never

the same after suffering his first. defeat in 26mm, you'd be hard-pressed to find a youtube video with over a thousand views with Hopson in the title, which is sad considering the talent he possesses, a fantastic boxer who could hit like lightning from all angles, the undefeated Eddie Hobson dressed in white. a combination of help without expecting to end up with a naka Sam Judah is a name that you will see appear on many lists like this, however it is vital that the clips featured are from when he still had some hair on his head.

Sure they're a bit grainy ER in terms of visual quality, but it's pre-2000s when your speed and reflexes are primed to deliver both clean hits, with difficulty catching up to the supers. AB might be the face of boxing names today, but it's true that he was. one of the top contenders in the draw in his day, it was no big secret that Zab Judah as an amateur was actually training with Pernell Whitaker and the stories said he would hold his own, there were so many things to love about Johnny Tapia with his incredible fighting style as simply wonderful, one of the most unique

boxers

in history because of the way he could duck and exchange in the center of the ring.

Tapia had that kind of crazy speed that at times seemed accelerated, but I can assure you that he likes all the other clips in this video he has not been manipulated in any way that terrible real power Terry Norris was an explosive beast in his prime if his opponent showed his slight hint of weakness, would jump faster than a hungry cheetah if the bell rang, they would fight after the bell Outside of his dirty tactics, he was also known for his impressive hand speed in combinations, something the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard had to discover. A heart for future world champion Terry Norris.

This is my last fight. Thanks for coming. God bless Michael Doakes. Standard model of the sprinter is a slightly chubby heavyweight and for much of his career an alcoholic and drug addict. I think it wasn't like that. He taught me a great lesson. Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson get all the praise when it comes to waking up heavyweights, but I think Dopes lets his shots fly just as fast, if not faster, quick hands like mine every time I get a winner, he gives me back the punch if i need it three times, three times episode hands, while james toney will always be famous for his defensive magic during his prime, you will have to give credit where credit is due and rank him among the best middleweights of all time in terms of hand speed, plus Tony has an incredible 30 year career in professional boxing winning countless titles in countless divisions while I enjoy watching an overweight James play with the boys, an epic cruiser and a heavyweight, nothing compares to the version thin 160 pounds of himself, a good six or seven years of pure destruction; good shot, it's probably no surprise that the best boxer of this generation makes the People often overlook how fast he can throw a single punch, especially for a man in his 30s, but he still comes in at number 14 of the way he destroyed fighters for the first 10 years of his career Floyd Mayweather is supposed to win he's a virtuoso at his best only complacency can really put him in danger Steele hi Oscar De La Hoya turned pro in 1992 and it wasn't until the turn of the century that he began to suffer the defeats we see in his record today during that time he fought Hall of Fame legends back to back and destroyed them with quick combinations, including the great Julio César Chávez He admitted that he had

never

seen a speed like David Lopez at this point does not bleed from the nose.

I personally think Oscar is one of the most underrated fighters in the modern era. Take a look at that resume and watch some of the old tapes. A formidable talent won me over by itself. The fact that he said it is. without looking I hope you didn't think we were going to miss Kid Dynamite's Mike Tyson set the blueprint for how all short heavyweights should get in the ring against these modern dinosaurs Tyson many consider Tyson to be the

fastest

heavyweight of them all times which is fair enough, but to think that many consider him one of the hardest hitters, gee, you just have to feel sorry for his opponents, how Danton challenged me with somewhat primitive skills, they just did a good job, another participant who could increase some. eyebrows, but when Shane Mosley first appeared on the scene in the mid-90s, fight fans around the world really believed that this could be their pound-for-pound star Mosely is another one of those guys who fought the who He is who of all those of his time, a wait of three. world champion that if he whipped your ass he would certainly go down, try a future Hall of Famer, it sure pains me to look back at a young Gamboa and wonder how great he could have been if it weren't for his promotional problem.

Mind you, you know, there's blood coming out of my nose, which should indicate that I haven't been there with Jambo before his loss to Terence Crawford in 2014. Gamboa was going through a world champion with amazing ease constantly firing off some of those combinations visually. nicest ones you've ever seen. Look, last night I turned off the light in my room, flipped the switch inside the bear pen again. Mohammed Ali is ranked number 10 because of his impressive performances during the 60s, his deft upper body movements and fascinating footwork made him almost untouchable. as much as possible, then you match him with study power and hand speed and you are left with a man worthy of the best acts, but the man is in trouble and he will show you how great the boxing world has never seen a top-tier fighter like Manny Pacquiao before, not just because he went through eight weight positions, but rather because of the form and the way he dealt with elite world champions back to back.

One of my personal favorites of all time. Manny was a true champion in and out of the ring. He stood up to everyone. challenge that life could throw at him and he conquered them all in a devastating way since 2000. In 2010 we witnessed one of the biggest crimes in the career of any boxer, although many will argue that Floyd was a better fighter, there is no denying the entertainment value it brought. to the ring I can handle his punches, he's too fast was that basically the story of the day of the fight was that he was too fast, he was too fast just as the undefeated Rocky Marciano called him today and right before the Big Bear Sonny Liston crush everything in his path, a man named Floyd Patterson trained as the number one heavyweight in the world.

Paterson had unprecedented skills; he could jump five feet across the Atlanta ring for a punching combination in the blink of an eye, so fast that viewers at home could miss him. For me, Paterson is the

fastest

heavyweight in history in his prime, it was like watching a bigger version of Sugar Ray Robinson, although Amir Khan is one of the most criticized fighters in modern sport, there is no denying it. Absolutely one of the fastest hitters. story when Amir enters the ring he risks it all, even with a proven glass jaw he continually leaves himself exposed just to let his hands do what they do best which as a fan is hard to watch but is must see television for casual boots. and he will have to make three or four five six shots to get to number six, it's macho time as we look back at one of the greatest shows in boxing, it's bachata.

Oh, Hector Comacho wasn't everyone's favorite prospect when he started rising through the ranks in the early '80s. The guy was cocky as hell and could often be pretty disrespectful in the ring, but as time went on, our Hearts grew fonder with this Puerto Rican street kid who was living life to the fullest and enjoying his job, oh man, keep looking at me, what can I say? Now is the time to separate the boys from the men. Sugar Ray Robinson is ranked number five for his amazing speed during the 1950s. Graziano scored the first knockdown, just keep in mind that there is no footage of the fight of him and his real main six or seven years before this, where The men in the ring reported that he was much faster and hit coops considerably harder, on which occasion he would have been fired after many of the sport's top historians consider his opponent Robinson to be the greatest of all time. , it's not exactly hard to see why the biggest fine was pound for pound, meaning I imagine it was a heavyweight fight in the same vein as it would be when we get to number four.

I think it's a good time. to remind people that the clips in this video are not sped up because when you cut to the best moments of Gary Russell Jr you are left with some pretty incredible footage, although Gary is only 30 years old and is currently at the peak of his career, it is impossible not to do it. To notice the slight drop in hand speed, turn the clock back seven or eight years and you could be looking at the fastest wrestler in history, but he just didn't perform at the level during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, we saw an increase in Attractive Young Prospects 9 of the 12 gold medalists were from the USA Tyrell Biggs Henry Tillman Mark Breeland and Frank Tate are some of the most notable, but none were as brilliant as The Heretic Belcher Taylor, won every second of each round on his way to goal and, unlike the other medalist that year, his talent correlated with the fights for the cappuccino engine Frank, Taylor was sadly never the same after his devastating first loss to Julio Cesar Chavez, continued to fight for many years afterward, but it was clear that he suffered some type of brain damage and that fight what-what Meldrick was landing on Chavez as soon as they landed the effect wore off, but what Chavez was landing on Meldrick Meldrick had Sugar Ray Leonard personified the saying speed kills within his first ten years as CRO becoming champion in five different weight classes beating some one of the best

boxers

in the sport on the road ray packed so much greatness into 40 fights it's incredible.

They could be times of defeat, but the great fights were always done on time. He just looks back at that record-breaking resume. You can call me biased all you want for having Roy Jones Jr. at number one, but I don't think any fighter at the 160 pound limit has managed to put together combinations like Roy, well some guys seem to forget and think I'm a knife. Gotham. I'm nice when I'm horrible. It's crucial with these hands that we had to keep the fighter BIOS pretty short for this video considering we had to cover 25 of them, but if you're new around here and want to learn more, just check out our content and I'm sure you will. .

You'll be able to find a deeper look at the histories and skill sets of most of the types listed. Thanks for watching fight fans, until next time, this is Boxing Legends TV, saying goodbye.
