    No but Tyson dealt and matched his hand speed also which is the only interesting part of their first round, Tyson was getting caught a bit, and Tubbs was the only opponent he faced that could match his hand speed during his prime.

    No you can see how quick the punches are.

    He threw tons of hooks on the inside in the rematch that were quicker than those that he threw in the first match. Duran fought Ray Leonard toe to toe and they both showed electric hand speed.

    Ali showed very quick hands for the vast majority of the 15 rounds he fought in the FOTC whilst shipping enourmous punishment.

    Tubbs showed very quick hands for the vast majority of the round and a bit he lasted with Tyson.

    Ali's efforts speed wise are more impressive to me based on performance alone.
