Name some fighters who are underrated when it comes to speed. Some of my picks: Past fighters Frazier Duran Jackson Trinidad Dela Hoya Current fighters Thurman Porter Joshua Tank Davis
good ones, esp. Duran and Frazier; Duran literally was once of the fastest of all time, but nobody ever mentions it Frazier not the fastest guy in the world, but u had 2 be fast 2 give Ali a rough time. Joe is often accused of being slow. That's a gross lie.
Foster, Gavilan, and Armstrong, all good mentions. Esp. Foster. He was pretty dang fast, I remember, esp. when he fought Finnegan. Gavilan's handspeed is horribly underrated, seeing as he was probably one of the fasted fighters 2 ever lace up the gloves.
Leslie Stewart had tremendous hand speed for a Light-Heavyweight. Shame about the chin. Holyfield never seems to get a mention for his speed. He was extremely fast-handed as a Cruiser. Some of those combinations against Qawi were so quick and fluid. But even north of 200 lb he could really make his gloves a blur. Clocked Moore with some beautiful flurries in their rematch.
That's part of beating him. I agree, it's an understatement. Afterall, Joe did hit him w/ shots that would have knocked down the walls of a city.
Joe Louis. Plenty still don't seem to realize just how scary fast those hands were. His timing too was inspiring.
I wouldn’t say his hand speed is underrated. It’s known as one of his best attributes by pretty much anyone whose seen him fight
Well you think all the older fighters suck. Just because he isn't a modern fighter doesn't mean he can't be underrated in area's. Film of the time doesn't quite do him justice.
