Fastest hands in combat sports history?

[BluntForceTrama]

THIS X2, it took 5 pages for it to come up. He hit him with like 8 punches in millisecondss and every one was a clean haymaker. Even in the slow mo replay his hands were still faster than a lot of current UFC fighters.

No it was posted on page 2 or 3

probably the great Roy Jones eh? Who else is in there.

Pac has faster hands

 

[Cuzcatlan]

Belfort had some crazy and accurate speed for MMA.

*Why did we never get to see Vitor vs Wanderlie 2? I never heard Wanderlie ever wanting to revenge that loss.

 

[Deezer]

Probably Pac
Ill never forget that Jones fight was 2 gun shots. Broke my heart when Tarver folding him

 

[Frank Dracman]

id say early Hector Camacho circa 1983, nobody was close to how fast he was at one time when he was young and hungry.

Good thing you specifically said hands. No one is touching Frank Dux 72 mph kick.

 

[ejazahmednit]

Cain vs Nog combo was blazing fast
Perhaps one of the fastest combos in UFC and MMA history
I am not very well versed with boxing history to comment for all of combat sport history

Good for a big man

Guessing Vitor. In UFC.

Aleks vs Morais was one of my favorite PRIDE FC matches. Morais had no chance.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Amir khan is not a terrible answer. Insane handspeed.

P4P? It's Roy Jones and it's not particularly close.

Agree with this, Meldrick Taylor is another that many won't think of

Not really. They just throw tighter punches and Cody starts throwing wide lopping punches in the pocket

I mentioned technique as well. But that just means they were throwing the same speed or greater speed than Garbrandth. It wasn't just one punch that connected. They connected with multiple before Cody got KO/TKO. If there was a speed difference wide looping punches wouldn't matter, he would still land first. Munhoz threw wide and he also connected multiple times during the exchanges in the pocket. TJ blocked and threw a tighter punch but the speed was even in those exchanges.

Not GOAT level but Melvin Guillard had real quick hands.

For boxing, Naseem Hamed had freaky speed. His hands and feet were both super fast.

Came here to Say Naseem. Bering from the UK, most of his fights were televised. The guy's hands were silly.

 

[Masturbin]

Nick Newel you can't even see on his hands during a fight.

That's how fast he is

 

[corrupted]

Manny around the time of the Hatton fight.
I remember some of the buildup footage to that being off the charts/ padwork etc.

Was at that fight

Jake Shields believe it or not
