Who was the fastest BIG heavyweight of all time?

[elfag]

Wlad has the fastest hands. Lewis was better at other things like fighting on the inside but wlad is definitely faster.

Vitali has the best reflexes, he is the fastest in terms of slipping punches and moving his head. Before his long layoff he was crazy fast in terms of movement and really hard to land on upstairs.

Larry Holmes was super fast, but he was way below 230 pounds. All super fast heavyweights like Holmes, Ali, Patterson and Tyson were below 230.
Over 230 pounds Wlad Klitschko is probably the fastest.
Corrie Sanders was very fast also. The version of Sanders who beat Wlad was almost 230 pounds.

that's true about vit actually, everybody goes on about his great chin but tbh the best chin is the one that doesn't get hit. sure he's been caught a few times like the famous lewis uppercut and rocked by corrie but generally he avoids getting chinned clean

wlad(especially the younger, more explosive),L Lewis and corrie sanders. Heard
Corrie sanders was a very fast sprinter for a man of hiz size

[Weltschmerz]

Wlad, hands down.
Haye was very quick, and Wlad kept up with him without much ado.

Buster Douglas had excellent speed. Too bad he mainly used it to get to the front of the buffet line.

Michael Grant was no slowpoke either.

Ali at 6'/ 3 and 210 to 220 lbs is a big heavyweight! He is the fastest heavy of all time and theres no one near him!!!

I know all the younger fans look at the "crusier" and the "supersized" as divisions but I don't! The heavyweight champion has NO weight limits!
He can weigh 165 if he wants to and the limits end at 175lbs which is the limit for a LtHvy bout! After 175 your a heavyweight to me the crusier was used years ago and its a division that usually has medicore heavies. The junior classes have their place but there should be no champions in those in between classes, its one of the reasons theres way to many titles in boxing!!
06/112/119/126/135/147/160/175/ open weight Heavy. If titles were limited the way they used to be you'd have a more competitive game. The kids that are growing out of classes could fight their ten rounds in the junior divisions without titles!! Theres no reason a guy weighing in at 120 can't fight at 126 for a title and fight at bantam + 1 in a 10 round non-title fight! It worked for years until all the promotion came in to back and develop federation with their own champs and contenders! Bunch of BS! Ray.

Maybe not the fastest, but I think Greg Page was up there and had physical attributes similar to Ali's.

Lewis by far...but Iron mike tyson clearly if you dont give all of these qualifications

[StayCool]

Ike Ibeabuci was pretty damn fast and strong as hell
