Who was the fastest BIG heavyweight of all time?

why is Wlad being mentioned, he is slow as fcuk. oh i get this thread, the usual suspects who think their freak who fights midgets, fatties and near fortysomethings and still loses is an ATG.

Wlad, hands down. Haye was very quick, and Wlad kept up with him without much ado. If anything that Haye fight showed just how slow Wlad was, he only landed 126/509 shots, 105 of them jabs. How many actual HW's with head movement has Wlad actually fought aside of Haye?

Not that many. There's always been huge men in boxing but few have been successful. That's why i admire the Klitschkos success even in this pisspoor excuse of a division. In short, i don't buy klitschkos success = because they have a size "advantage". no it is not the size that wins them fights..they are clearly more talented and dedicated then everyone else

How many good huge heavyweights have there actually been? Not that many. There's always been huge men in boxing but few have been successful.

No, he's a midsized heavyweight. And it's more like 210-215 lbs. He was 220-230 later in his career. How many good huge heavyweights have there actually been?

6'3..215-220 sho aint small No, he's a midsized heavyweight. And it's more like 210-215 lbs. He was 220-230 later in his career.

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 but the question was who is the fastest of the BIG (namely 230+lbs and 6'3+). It's already been more or less decided on who is the fastest hw of all time (and the answers usually varies between Ali, Floyd P and Mike T depending on preference and amount of exposure to the sport). What i want to know is who's the fastest of the really big guys. For with size increase, speed decreases. Ali would not be as fast if he were 250 as if he were 210.

Was he a BIG hw though? Not really. 6'3..215-220 sho aint small

Ali hands down,never seen a faster heavyweight ever Was he a BIG hw though? Not really.

Ali hands down,never seen a faster heavyweight ever

I think it would be between Wlad and Lewis. Lewis weighed about 230 in his prime and later he weighed about 245.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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. 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

if we're talking super heavys it's between wlad and lewis nobody else comes close

Lewis was the fastest I can remember, in terms of the super heavyweights. He had great speed in his younger days, much more so than Foreman, the Klistschko's, etc... Ali, Tyson and the likes are small in comparison. Lewis might be many thinks, but he never was as fast as wlad. Wlad's footwork always was superior. Ali is the one if you count him as he was lighter than 230lb.
