    Which heavyweights had the fastest ever hands? Do you agree with this list? Shout out to Morlocks and the petty squad!

    Floyd Patterson
    Mike Tyson
    Muhammad Ali
    Mike Dokes
    Herbie Hide

    Don’t know if Roy Jones can be included since he only had one fight at heavyweight.

    My Turkish friend has told me you`re a keyboard bully and that`s why you`re on this site and that I should ignore you.

    I don`t think Jones was as quick as the guys you listed at heavyweight.

    Maybe. Its hard to tell from just one fight and Ruiz was probably the perfect opponent to make him look quicker than he was.

    The only legit heavyweights who actually had fast hands were Mike Tyson, Tommy Morrison, Michael Dokes and Ali. Floyd Patterson was a 180 pound guy so he isn't a heavyweight by modern standards.

    But he was in his day, and so is a HW. And he was much quicker than Morrison

    I agree with Patterson as No.1

    Jack Johnson is up there.
