No one ever talks about Tysons speed, he has to be the GOAT heavyweight in speed

[StarshipTrooper]

Competition is greater today, so I think the requirements are higher.

It is? That's news to me. Especially considering top athletes go into other sports rather than boxing these days as opposed to Ali's time when boxing got as many top athletes as any sport.

Personally I always considered Floyd Patterson the quickest but Tyson is not far behind.

I thought he was faster than just about any heavyweight htere is now that's for dam sure. Name one fast HW today?

David Haye and Eddie Chambers. Their hands are as fast or faster than a prime Tyson.

Tyson was great though and it wasn't just cuz of his speed.

Hard to say, Dokes may have been faster than Tyson, and Tubbs was as least as fast.So was Greg Page.
