    who was quicker Holmes or Muhammad Ali

    who was quicker Holmes or Muhammad Ali

    i personally have to say Holmes his left piston like jab and right cross was unbelievably fast for a HW ,i know Ali was damn quick aswell especially in the days before his his license was revoked but i still think Holmes was the sharper fighter of the 2

    what do u think

    Holmes was quicker than Ali in every department.
    I firmly believe a prime Holmes beats a prime Ali.

          Ali was quicker on his feet and in his hands APART from Holmes jab. That thing was a monster, best jab in heavyweight history.

            Holmes right cross was unbelievably fast

            He could come over the top of a jab in the blink of an eye

              I always felt Ali's jab was right up there with Holmes too. Anyway, I voted for Ali because he had the quicker footspeed. Probably hands too.

                I know it was, but I think Ali's right cross was faster. Especially when he was using it to counter (which he didn't do often). If were talking Overall, I do think Ali was faster but Holmes Jab was faster than Ali's.

                The fastest Heavyweight in the handspeed department is proberbly Joe Louis, his one shots were unbelieveable short and fast OR Floyd Patterson fast as hell.

                    they were lighter than Ali and Holmes though

                    weight makes a huge difference even in 5lbs over stone it can make u much quicker
