Was prime ali much quicker on his feet than prime tyson ? .

:lol1: :lol1:

tyson was slightly less quick than ali but tyson hit much harder than ali . i'm not doubting that, but power is not even the focus of this thread! think before you post something.

yeah, well maybe tyson had the speed of a middleweight, but ali had the speed of a lightweight! tyson was slightly less quick than ali but tyson hit much harder than ali .

anyway, ali is da fastest eva.

Jesus christ...why does this stupid thread ALWAYS come up? Same crap on esp* message board too.......

How did tyson look faster than he actual was because of his shape?. Are you saying he looked faster with his hands or feet or both ? .

no way is tyson faster than ali.

ali is faster no doubt. tyson looked faster than he really was because of his shape, he also looked shorter. anyway both of them is faster than most heavyweights. How did tyson look faster than he actual was because of his shape?. Are you saying he looked faster with his hands or feet or both ? .

So your sayimg in tysons prime he was as quick on his feet as a middleweight . Yes, he moved as quick as a middleweight, if you ever get a chance to look at some of his old clips you will see, his foot work and quickenss was awesome Cus had him on point.

Tyson had fast feet, Ali was much more elusive. But Tyson in his prime moved like a middleweight the guy moved very well and gave his opponents hell becuase he had great laterall movement. So your sayimg in tysons prime he was as quick on his feet as a middleweight .

Tyson was more articulate in the way he balanced his frame for maximum power whereas Ali liked to dance to try and humiliate opponents(although whilst doing the Ali shuffle He was not throwing shots and if he did this to a young Tyson im sure he would have paid dearly) He was certainly as fast as Ali with his hands when it came to power punches yet he was alot stronger and more powerfull than Ali too. there were times when ali threw punches during the ali shuffle. he didnt throw combos , but he would shoot out a fast jab or right hand every once in a while.

Because a lot of people bought into the Tyson media-hype, much like people did with Gatti and his ability. Tyson was good, don't get me wrong. He was the champ during a "flat" time for the division, much like Vitali now. Compared to the fighters of his era, yes Tyson definitely had fast feet. When compared to Ali, it isn't close. Ali may have danced, but he's also recognized as having the fastest feet in the division. I just wish people would watch boxing objectively, rather then inflating their favorite fighters. Gatti is my favorite, but I'm not stupid enough to classify him as a champion, and wasn't the least bit surprised he got cut to pieces by a far superior boxer in Mayweather.

What I like is when someone asks your opinion, then tries to discredit it. Tyson’s footspeed doesn’t compare to Ali’s. He was quick, but not fast. HUGE difference. Well a lot of people belive tyson had comparable footspeed with ali . How come ? .
