Who are the top 10 fastest heavyweights?

Roy Jones Junior count?

 

What the hell has a whupping by Bowe have to do with Hide's speed? Bowe v Hide was like a man fighting a boy.

For me, it has to be Tyson. Damn freak.

 

i was questioning the comparison with someone like julian jackson, hide isn't fit to wipe his arse.

 

I was about to say. Green had fast hands if nothing else.

 

RJJ was faster - but wasn't a "real" heavy, and couldn't/wouldn't compete against the real champ. Just saying.

 

spot on! :thumbsup
tyson is the fastest heavy i have seen but i havent seen al of alis fights so i dont know for sure, but larry holmes had probs the fastest jab av seen from a heavy

 

Obviously Ali, Dokes, Chris Byrd, Young Mike Tyson, Jersey Joe Walcott, Greg Page, Tony Tubbs

 

If Byrd is fast, Ikeabucchi must be pretty close too... and Tua

 

I don't count RJJ.

 

James Tillis was also very fast in his younger days.

 

not exactly accurate, if hyde had been fighting at cruiserweight instead of heavyweight i think it would be the other way round, jackson didn't exactly beat a mass of great fighters either.

 

Combination of speed and size is excellent.

 

Muhammad Ali is the all-time fastest.

 

Corries sanders, he had incredible fast hands, even at age 37-to 40..
Here ali was washed up bigtime at that age.

 

Ali is the fastest of both hand and foot speed. Tyson had the 2nd fastest hands of all time and followed by Patterson. Guys like Holmes would make the top 10 as well for both, Tubbs for hand speed, Dokes for hand speed. Bruce Seldon had fast hands as well and Herbie Hide deserves a mention for top 10. Tunney is clearly top 10. Don't forget Douglas either, when he fought Tyson he had blazing hand speed.
