Thee has been some fast heavyweights. I can't think of any that quite matched up to Ali. Ali's real game was not necessarily foot speed, but foot work. He had great grace and effortless movement, hence the term "float like a butterfly" Ali almost looked like he did just float around the ring. He was the ultimate ring general.

In my opinion, Jack Johnson had great foot work and skill inside the ring in terms of ring generalship. Ranking him up there with Ali in terms of footwork.

Muhammad's style was often copied, but never duplicated. Because Ali was very relaxed in the ring, he rarely tired, particularly early in his career. He would dance all night, causing his opponents to grow very weary of chasing him in circles.

Many of the things Ali did were technically wrong, but his reflexes and "rubbery" body allowed him to get away with things like pulling straight back from punches and holding his hands at his waist.

There has been some fast fighters, but none as accomplished as the butterfly.

Tyson is a prick. I hope he returns and gets beaten up!

A young, in-shape Corrie Sanders could move (1995)
He had hand speed and power as well. His fight against a still useful Bert Cooper showed how fast all around he was. Wasted talent, though.
