Fastest Heavyweight of All Time?

[Zab Super Judah]

that hw from catskills, prime, gets the job done the fastest

is that your girlfriend in your sig

[Easy-E]

although im not sure about him being techniclly a hw, roy was extremly fast for a hw. also, ali and patterson were quick as hell too. tyson was fast, but not THAT fast. i feel as though his speed was overrated because people were not used to seeing such strong power punches coming so fast

ali's handspeed is part of his self promotion. ali was an arm puncher first and foremost - in no way, shape, or form was he an explosive puncher. it's really important to analyze that ali's style and size helped create the illusion of unchanged supremacy. this is however not the case as dempsey and louis both could uncork combinations with violent capacity.

ali had the quickest feet out of any heavyweight, but his speed was part of the illusion that ali himself created. also don't forget, ali had a huge reach advantage that allowed him to do a flicking and poking jab as opposed to a stiff, accurate jab that tyson, louis, dempsey all used.

IMO it's hard to argue with the G.O.A.T. Muhammed Ali.

quote of the day

[Kid Achilles]

I have to go with Patterson. Ali was a close second.

[butterfly1964]

ali definetely was the fastest, with patterson a close second.

[Verstyle]

butterfly1964 continues with the ali nuthugging. i bet if some1 said who would win out of a fight now ali or foreman u would say ali on accident
