How much handspeed has tyson lost since his prime?.

He gradually lost speed, after leaving Rooney. He also started lifting weights in prison, and continued for 10+ years, which didn't help.

Yeah I would say he's lost 30 percent or better.

his footspeed is no longer tip top either. i'd say his handspeed is at half mast or less.

well when tyson was in his prime his handspeed was most comparable with ali . Who would tysons handspeed be most comparable without now if we were to take the tyson from the willams fight.Frazier, Foreman, liston?.

The real question is does a prime Tyson have the hands to be fleet-handed?

Fraizer had very fast hands.
His left against Ali in their first fight was extremly fast.

I wouldnt compare Ali and Tysons hand speed, just because their styles were so different.
Tyson and Patterson had siomilar styles and speed.

Tyson is still fast, but nothing like he was.
