HHAHAHHA......you might as well compare Ali to a snail......no heavyweight comes close to Ali's speed

just because patterson lost to liston&ali doesnt mean he was a snail..

patterson is a great heavyweight, he was smaller than most of his opponents and still beat them.

as the commontater said, "Cassius Clay has the fastest hands in boxing history"...

Muhammad Ali Wins No Problemo...

Patterson is considered by many people to have the fastest hands of any heavyweight. Cooper said that Patterson had faster hands than Ali, A typlical over reaction from internet forum posters patterson was no snail his hand speed was amazing, Ali was quicker on his feet and maybe had faster reactions but hand speed was almost equal but there is no was to actauly tell.

how about using your ****ing eyes for a change? Ali was quicker on his feet, had faster reactions and superior handspeed.....no comparison for me...**** even Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson had faster hands than Patterson

Patterson was fast, but only in (in my opinion) the Top 7 or 8 Heavyweights ever by speed. Ali is the fastest by a clear margin.

Right...........in the videos shown Ali was faster on the speed bag, there was more beats per second in the short clip.

However, Patterson was measured to have a faster left hand than any heavyweight upto and including Ali. But Ali had the faster right hand.

No two ways about it both had fast combinations, Patterson's handspeed was lethal in the rematch with Johannson. These two guys are surely the two fastest heavyweights in history if speed of punch is the factor measured. Ali clearly has the fastest feet, followed by possibly Holmes and Walcott

They are no doubt closely followed by Tyson, Louis, Holyfield and Holmes on the handspeed front. David Haye has fast hands as well.

Rahman is the fastest ever.

I always thought that Patterson's short reach let him fire out single punches faster than Ali could but I think Ali may have better speed in his combinations than Patterson.

Your a prat how about you use your eyes, i never said Patterson was faster on his feet or had faster reactions all i said was many people beleve Patterson had faster hands god people like Cooper who actauly was in with both Patterson and Ali said Patterson had faster hands but Ali was faster on his feet now i can bring up quotes i can post videos etc but it will never change your mind so i dont know why i bother.
