What Brit had/has the best hand speed? Calzaghe will be hard to top. Khan has very fast hands but Calzaghe was far more accurate. Naz was quick but more unorthodox than anything. Lot of ko's from strange angles etc... Thoughts?

Speed alone? Khan.

And he’s still got the speed. If only Khan had a chin. His ability never in question.

He knocks out a top class wank online though

Khan has atg level speed, it's almost like he's too fast for his own good sometimes and can't think fast enough to match his body

Good point

I always thought Carl Frampton at around 27-29 years old was pretty fast, and his combos had a bit of pop for a wee fella

Speed Alone - Khan x5.

I always thought he was created by a kid playing a boxing video game for the first time..,

"I've given myself 100 ATG speed, and haven't got any points left for chin.."

Macarinelli showed good hand speed v Haye (who himself was quite quick),

Hamed
Buchanan
Calzaghe
Watson
Conteh

Hamed for sure but he used to throw from crazy angles.
Top fighters are so used to well schooled boxers.
Same for JC too.
Just on speed Khan

Andrew Selby is slick

Khan. Outrageous hand speed. The combo he knocks Gomez down with in round 1 of their fight is just extraordinary.

Or much else!

Mind you with his handspeed, if he had a decent chin he’d have been very difficult to beat. Be very hard to outwork him
