    Tyson, Ali and Roy by far, to me Tyson is the most because his footwork and hand speed is abnormal for his size.

    Nah, he has excellent balance and coordination. Otherwise he wouldn´t have been able to move against Ruiz the way he did.
    Definitely no RJJ, but still pretty impressive for a heavyweight.

    Height and size matter little if you have no coordination.

    Nope, I would commit suicide if I had a glass jaw and couldn't punch. Luckily the boxing gods blessed me with the chin of a statue and a right hand that could level 0ne.

    I'd probably add Sweet Pea. His defense moves were crazy, still haven't seen anything like it to this day.

    Great call. I remember watching footage of Patterson-Moore and I thought the speed was out of whack. Floyd had ridiculous hand speed in that fight.

    Some have Patterson as the heavyweight with the fastest hand speed ever

    I always thought Ali in his prime was the quickest until I saw Floyd in that fight. His hand speed was scintillating. It’s probably why an undersized heavyweight like he was could excel.
