    So, all the fastest heavies were direct contemporaries? That seems highly implausible.

    Tyson Patterson and Ali are top 3, but beyond that, Tubbs was fast, Eddie Chambers had fast hands

    cant go past Patterson. When he tears into Ingo in their 2nd fight you'd swear the film was speeded up. Alis salvo v london was breathtakingly fast

    You know he is LITERALLY talking about the animal not the country. Like David Burkewitz Mark hears the turkey talking to him and telling him what to write.

    Holmes still had a significantly faster than average fast jab when he fought Butterbean at the age of 53! Along with Hopkins, I'd say he has the most impressive hand speed I've ever seen on a fighter over forty.
