      Tyson had that amazing speed, but he was also made up entirely of core strength. Dude was basically just a walking fist.
      Good list, Louis, Dokes and Haye are pretty close. And yeah, guys with comparable power like Foreman and Shavers don't compare at all with speed to Tyson.

            Patterson, Ali, Louis and Dokes all had quick hands, I like this video of Patterson the speed bag.

              Tyson was faster than all of them and way more exciting too, end of conversation.

                I cant believe Larry Holmes hasn't been mentioned or 1990-1992 Evander Holyfield. Both those guys had comparable handspeed to Tyson, albeit not necessarily faster.

                  Holyfield had quick hands in his prime.
