    Wilder has the fastest movement id say right now, the guy fights like he had 10 red bulls before a fight
    Never seen someone fight so hyper

    Wilder is a big clumsy stiff who only can throw one punch.

    I knew your comment would be quoting me, i dunno why your so insecure when someone mentions an american fighter you have to comment

    If you watch some of his early fights the guy basically ****s about in the ring but he does it so fast and dodges so fast he gets away with it

    Fix your insecurity levels

    Haye, for sure.

    And if you ignore the haters and actually study Deontay Wilder's last 2 years, you may be very surprised. He's faster than Ali in his prime. Not as good (yet) of course, but faster feet & probably even faster headwork.

    Study how well he avoids punches by moving his head.

    Notice how well he moves backwards without losing balance & perfect punch-support. (like Whittaker did)

    _ and watch how fast he closes the gap, to throw a power left from way outside.



    The guy still has a few faults, but speed isn't one of them.

    The Bryd man is retired

    This.


    Also, Bryant Jennings is pretty fast.

    Haye as well.

    Vitali and Vlad are both extremely underrated, they have speed..............Everyone said that Solis was too fast for Vitali, but Vitali stopped Solis with a right hook to the temple, when Solis fell down, he hurt his knee. Notice on the video, Solis had no problem with his knee until Vitali knocked him down. Funny, whenever someone gets into the ring with Vitali or Vlad they are always surprised at how quick they are, it's not just that they are quick, it's their timing. Vitali knows distance better than any heavyweight boxing today.

    It's true the bigger heavyweights of this era lack the speed and explosiveness of the smaller, quick fisted heavyweights of the past like Tyson, Ali and Holyfield but when you consider how much bigger the heavyweights are nowdays that's understandable.

    Haye and Andy Ruiz Jr are the only heavyweights I can think of that has real speed at the moment. Chambers is no longer a heavyweight so no longer counts and he was never a true heavyweight, like Chris Byrd during his time he's blown up above his natural weight.

    Basically all the fast guys are blown up cruisers and similar in size to the quick handed heavies of the past. True heavyweights with elite speed like Tyson and Ali were rare guys like Patterson and Holyfield who also had superb speed were not true heavies in their primes.

    Wlad's very fast for a super heavyweight but of course his speed doesn't compare to Ali or Tyson but then he's much bigger than both these ATG's so that's not surprising.

    Wladimir klitschko is really fast for a big guy. I mean he's 2meters and weighs 110kgs that is ALOT of muscle to move around the ring and punch with.


    David haye got really good handspeed. Outside of David I can only see David ruiz jr (?) Can't remeber if it was him but that Fat latino kid, he can punch really fast aswell.

    We talking about hand speed here or mobility and agility, or both?

    There's quite a few with good handspeed, but not so many who are mobile and quick on their feet.

    David Haye (who's been mentioned a load of times) comes to mind as a guy who's got both.

    He's talking about Tyson speed so I would say both.
