    I would say Patterson is quicker to be honest but that’s just my opinion.

      Joe quicker than Floyd?

      Joe throws pitty pat flurries...Floyd loads up and throws bombs with hooks.

      I consider Tyson the fastest Heavyweight with power and Ali the fastest with flurries.

      Ali:



      This was cool with Tyson: I think he is 15 since Teddy is there

          Flurries...we'll say that. It's easier to throw those than power shots at quick speed...do you agree?

            Joe's punches are not pitty pats but there not in the same league as Patterson, Patterson was knocking out heavyweight's cold, If Hopkins and Roy can put him down a devastating puncher like Patterson would have no trouble knocking Joe out.

Patterson's combination punching was amazing for a guy of his size.
                      Calzaghe has the advantage of experience. Floyd was very young at 175, Calzaghe was 36 by the time he got there.

                      I'm not saying that Calzaghe would win, but fights like Louis-Schmelling I and II show the difference between a very talented guy who is still green, and a very talented guy who has reached his peak.
