    I was taught in school that history was pack of lies, told by people who weren't there, about things that didn't happen.

    I like your history better.

    You had a bunch of commie scoundrels for teachers.

    History is the story of the winners.

    And to quote Freddie Blassie... Everyone loves a winner. Everyone hates a loser.

    Speaking of Freddie Blassie, I believe at one time he managed Kamala who was quite quick for a HW of his size?

    Michael was phenomenal with his hand speed, though I think Page was faster.Muhammad Ali takes this for all-time.

    I'd say Patterson was the fastest.

    Prime Ali was the quickest heavyweight that ever lived.
