No Heavyweight will ever be faster than Muhammad Ali.

Exactly... No one is faster than Muhammad Ali... A legend... R.I.P

Go watch Ali when he was young, Tyson and Roy Jones were not faster than him.

Tyson was the closest to Ali In speed , maybe faster.

The only heavyweight faster than Muhammad Ali was young Muhammad Ali. I can imagine young Ali popping that lightning fast jab in old Ali's face, ducking as old Ali tries to counter him off the rope-a-dope position. "You old, sucka! Washed up just like Archie Moore. I can dance all day." Ali whooping himself, it would be brutal to see.

He was extremely fast but you don't know that no heavyweight will ever be faster. Records in all sports are being broken all the time. Someone jumps so high or runs so fast or swims so fast or lifts so much weight that they say nobody will ever beat their record. They somebody comes along and beats their record. It happens all the time. I know he was a great fighter and you want to honer him. With the billions of people in the world today and more coming there could be a young future heavyweight boxer somewhere in this world right now who will be faster than Ali.

It's alright to praise Ali but why insist no one will ever be faster? There's been many faster HWs but none that ever brought it all together like Ali. Who knows what the future will hold. For 1 fight roy jones was.

An argument can be made for prime Mike Tyson. For an explosive power puncher he was also extremely quick given his short stocky body structure. I was going to say the same thing. I think overall Ali is faster, but I am talking combined speed, foot, hand, thought, etc. He actually processed at an incredible speed. I think Tyson had faster and definitely more explosive hands.

Very rare in my opinion with that kind of lateral movement, especially today's era. He moved like a lightweight really, really fast, in and out with his speed and combination!
