Would Olympic Sprinters have fast hands for boxing ?

[WillieWild114]

Since they are the fastest people in the world would their running speed transfer to their hand speed since their fast twitch dominate athletes?

[Charlie Zelenoff]

I think they'd have quick feet. They'd most likely have good footwork.

[elfag]

maybe, but they have to set aside time for boxing training and not just sprinting training

[Silence]

Speed is the most overrated thing in any sports except sprinting.

[Babadoux]

I think they would be explosive. I imagine they would have fast hands too, but not necessarily in combination punching like Leonard or Pacquiao. That may be an independent ability which some sprinters may or may not have. Additionally, they may have speed, but that doesn't mean they would be quick.

[Larry the boss]

fast feet do not equal fast hands

[Smash]

lets put the current fastest hands in boxing in a foot race to see who wins

[_original_]

It takes far more than that to be a high level boxer. Lol

[hugh grant]

Joshua can run fast his hands don't seem so fast
