I heard jack dempsey used to box on his toes at time . Is that true ? .
Was mike tyson faster on his feet than any heavyweight coming forward ? .

I have no idea about Jack Dempsey but i do know that Tyson was very quick coming forward on his feet. The thing that made Tyson even more lethal was his ability to get maximum potential out of a punch while coming forward. That takes alot of doing without losing balance or power. He always kept his speed and his power.Comment

No doubt.....no heavyweight in history moved forward as quickly as did prime-time Tyson.
This was every bit as important to him as was his punching power.
Imagine what it was like for his opponents ?
Having that fire breathing block of granite come in underneath you that quickly, & bringing up those powerhouse combos ?
I think you'd rather have a dude standing in front of you with a .44 magnum !Comment

Tyson had incredible speed for someone his size, Dempsey was much slighter of build, so it wouldn't surprise me to know that Dempsey was as fast as Tyson, but Tyson changed boxing with his combination of speed and power, driven by a level of ferocity rarely seen in boxing.Comment
