    juy juy is right floyd pattersons hands were faster then alis. ive seen both of them fight in there prime and patterson beats ali. whenever i watch patterson i forget he's a hw i start to think he's a lightweight cause of his hand speed and small built

      also remember tyson punched with power punches now every1 knows when u punch with power punches your speed goes down cause your tryin to put alot of force into those punches. but i have seen instances where mike tyson did punch as fast as ali. but ali still did it the most. but remember rooney saw tyson in person and saw the speed in person how many of us can say we saw tyson in his prime in a live fight in person huh?

        You saw Patterson and Ali fight in their primes...hell you dont look like you are old enough to have seen Bert Cooper in his prime let alone the boys that you mentioned.

        I guess the avatar is a good diversion, nice work!

                i think your confused. who on here is 40 plus that saw the ali, forman and all the greats in person not alot. so why dont u tell your bull**** to the rest of the forum about watching fights on tv that r old. and tell them how they cant evaluate it cause they werent there. that would be almost every member on this site. i dont get what your tryin to say i think your confused. the only reason i made the rooney comment is he thinks tyson is quicker cause he TRAINED THE MAN!!!!. o yeah also i never said i saw them live. i saw them on tv like every1 here

                  In your initial post you said you saw Ali and Patterson in their prime...my satire explained/spelled out to you in simple/easy to understand form is as follows...

                  Who the **** hasnt seen Ali in their prime...who the **** hasnt seen Patterson in their prime...I got news for you everyone on this site has seen footage of these fellas therfore when you say you saw them in their prime all you needed to do was say I saw Ali vs. Liston or Johansson vs. Patterson on tape.

                    but who the hell say i saw them on tape everytime they mention a old fight. your making a argument out of nothing. and who the hell wouldnt brag about seeing ali like by saying i saw ali in person thats what they would say. come on now lets be mature

                      Your right...sometimes I will argue just to be a ****...I cant help it...asking me to be mature is basically asking me to grow up...


                      Ill think about it.
