Top 10 fastest hands at HW ever

In no particular order Ali, Patterson, Tyson, Byrd, Holyfield, Holmes, Louis, Johnson, maybe include Wlad or Haye, i'll throw in Sanders as a wild card because even as an old, fat looking guy...he had some incredible hand speed, even age 37+ and the southpaw element also adds to it Corrie Sanders is a good one...I forgot all about him. That mother****er was fast.

the only name that i haven't seen yet is michael dokes. the fastest is muhammad ali, and it's not close. 60's ali is the fastest fighter p4p of all time. he was 6'3" with a gigantic reach, and he moved like a welterweight. he had lost a step by the time he regained his license to box.

I think you'd probably have to include James Toney in that list as well. He's been at heavyweight since 2003 and his handspeed from his first few years in the division (Holyfield, Booker, Ruiz, Peter 1, Guinn, Rahman 1) was very impressive.

20 - 25 year old Ali was like lightning. Yeah...Ali in the 60's was BLAZING fast.
