    Just rewatched the 1st round of Tubbs v Tyson and though Tubbs lack of head movement wa letting him down, he actually matched Mike`s hand speed and tagged him at times, which other heavyweight fights featured handspeed from both sides in this manner? I still consider that bout a mismatch, I just felt the 1st round had this interesting element to it.

    As far as heavyweights I would say Patterson vs Ali would have to be up there.

    Patterson was robbed. That ref may as well had had a shotgun.

    They were both far better than Tubbs but maybe not as quick.

    Ali`s hand speed was quicker in his rematch v Frazier.
