Cassius Clay was faster than Tyson.

Where?

Prove it...

[Beanflicker]

Look how slow tyson moves in your signature. Cassius is fastest!

[Beanflicker]

In fact, I'll do you one better: I think Floyd Patterson had faster pure hand speed than both of them! Chew on that one.

Floyd would only be a cruiserweight now. Mike was a over a stone heavier than Patterson and was heavier than Ali when he was Cassius Clay.

A man of that size and weight who could create that speed is a genuine phenomenon.

No argument there. Speed and power, like a HW Julian Jackson.

Khan
Jones

I know that these have been said but for me Meldrick Taylor was the fastest over Jones, Tyson, Noriss.

Khan is the fastest I have seen as the top weight with Manny and Donnaire too.

*if we can go to any era..Howard Davis is considered by most experts to be the fastest...
Meldrik Taylor was fast..

Watched footage of Meldrick and Roy again and I'm gonna have to give it to Roy ... Meldrick would spit out more prolific combinations with 8 or 9 punches in sequence but Roy was just a freak who moved so fast it was hard for anyone to even react ... even in slow motion this guy was fast ...

Literally had alien speed and was VERY accurate ... Taylor longer combos made it look like he had faster hands but Roy was actually getting clean shots in with his combos, unlike Meldrick. Even besides that, I think his hands were faster anyway.

Fastest hand speed or fastest speed of though? Cause you can have great hand speed but not the best reaction time to use those fast hands.

Joe calzaghe , Kessler said after their fight " his punches don't hurt but he hits you like 20 times" now that's fast

Those weren't punches though

[Beanflicker]

I keep thinking of Roy's fight with Pazienza, he was throwing triple and quadruple jabs in the blink of an eye, and the precise speed of the combo that took out Paz.

[DavilaJones]

think it was in that fight actually that he landed 6 left hooks in a row.
