    dont know i never thought he was slow ...i would say if he was trying to fight in that style he could keep up ...he's not as fast as prime Ali no, Holmes dont know,Biggs couldnt get away from tyson so it makes tyson look faster then him to me

          Both. He could do it all.

          Stick, move... stick AND move. Move & stick. You name it.

                  He wasn't very flashy, but he was effective and in my opinion he was right up there in speed with Holmes as far as speed goes.

                      i am sure he could do it if he tryed or has done it in sparring . most fighters learn more then one style of fighting . Ali fought out of a crouch in the holmes fight ..the reason you never see tyson do it is he never fights someone his size or smaller which is when the ali thing is most useful. i put tyson's speed of foot up with the best fighters... would you say Patterson had slow feet he had close to the same style dempsey also
