Willard was very slow....... Liston was slower than Marciano in my view.....Of course, the size difference is a factor....
Max Schmeling was no speedster,,,,, But he made up for that with short straight punches.. Rocky Marciano was a hooker, which took a little longer for those punches to land, but when they did,,,,,'bonebreakers'
Rafeal Ruelas was slow but very aggressive and hard hitting good enough to get some good wins.. But think his lack of speed (and soso chin) were also his downfall.
Liston looks much slower to me the Marciano...although he was about 20 some pounds heavier...so i guess for size its hard to say....i would say we should keep it just to linear real champs. I will say this..Winky Wright was not all that fast..what he had was amazing timing...timing is the better cousine of speed...and that was what he had.
This is just moronic. Wlad has a very, very fast jab, not even considering how huge he is. And he hooks off the jab very quickly.
