    Patterson was almost as fast, same type of combo deliveries.
    Ali was as fast if not faster, with straight punches.

    Tyson is the fastest combo puncher

    Patterson, Ali, and Roy Jones come to mind.

    No one could throw loaded power shots as quick as Tyson, Ali had faster hands but when it comes to getting leverage and power behind punches no one throws bombs faster than Tyson.

    Archie Moore said that he thought Tysonw as the swiftest heavy, including ALi.

    Not saying I agree, just mentioning that he said it.

    Tyson's picks for the fastest HW hands was Patterson. I think that Tyson may have had more torque on his hook than even that man, yeah. Partly due to his tiny reach mind.

    They are so fast most never see them. Then they say he doesn't throw any punches.
