    No he isn't. :nono Eddie Chambers is the best American fighter at the moment IMO. He's much faster than Haye.

    It was meant as a back handed shot at Tyson's grip of the English language.

    Wladimir has very quick hands for such a big Heavyweight. Vitali isn't as fast but his timing is superb.

    Chambers needs to get his ass in shape so he can fight after the first 5 rounds or so.

    I fear if he gets in shape he may lose size and he needs as much as he can get, because he is a small HW.

    Herbie Hide and Chris Byrd were fast heavyweights.I dont think Haye is as quick as either of those 2.Roy Jones was fast as was Mike Spinks but you would expect that with them comming up 2 divisions.I dont think Roy was good at heavy he fought a guy they knew would not pose too much of a threat in Ruiz.Haye would have stopped Roy at Heavy or Cruiser weight,in my opinion he would always be too big and hit too hard for Roy.

    Tyson had more speed and more power. He also threw better combinations. This is comical, almost.

    The 19-22 year old Mike Tyson was easily the fastest heavyweight since Ali's first reign as champion !
