Everyone likes to think they are fast
And we see quite a bit of clips and demos of speed on things that DON'T hit back, but what about speed and combos VS someone actually fighting back?

Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
gotta love sugars combination of fast hands and quick footwork
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Greetings,
Looking at the clip, most of the speed boxers were also offensive fighters. Their opponents were not always answering back punch for punch. What is important to note is their positioning, sensitivity, timing, and ability to adapt fluidly to gates/targets that open and close. There were many instances where the attacker was vulnerable, just like some poor guy in some mcdojo who is putting a hurtin' on the guy in a bow stance holding his punching arm straight out, locked. The difference being the boxer's ability to adjust and deal with what may come his way.

Gonna have to watch that one for later.
Other than Sugar Ray Leonard & Sugar Ray Robinson, you may want to check out Meldrick Taylor.
Before the Chavez fight, that guy was FAST.
Also check out vintage Roy Jones if you haven't already.
For foot speed and/or defense, see Willie Pep, Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, and Benny Leonard. All 3 of those guys are virtuosos.
-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
Not just combos but speed, precision and hitting from every angle:

Greetings,
sanjuro ronin, regardless of rankings there was an element that kept some of those guys from hitting back and it was FEAR. Those champions hit fast and HARD. At some point you will have to suck it up and deal or falter.
