In terms of speed you'd have Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis or Mike Tyson.

I meant in terms of handspeed, Patterson is tops. Ali had better footspeed than Patterson, though.

no way did patterson have quicker handspeed than ali

Patterson and Moore over Dempsey at heavyweight? That is obscene. The forum as a whole is incredibly biased against Dempsey.

Nevermind Dempsey...those two fighters over Larry Holmes??? That's the one I find funny...

Larry Homeths...mr underappreciated.

Lol, Joe Louis in seventh? Louis was in a class by himself, he's number one and nobody even enters his radar screen as far as I'm concerned.

Patterson had faster hands than Ali, no question for me.

I see a lot of VER VERY VERY ****** posts.
I am sick and tired of people saying ''he didn't beat any great fighter'' just because he was in a bad era. If Ali was in a diffirent era would he be one of the greatest? Just look at their prime and define their skills. This is my list on talent in primes, not achievements.

1 Joe Louis
2 Mike Tyson
3 Muhammed Ali
