    Joshua combos are fast and powerful no doubt. But he's light years away from Tyson for example. Joshua fails to land a liver shot, an uppercut and then a hook as fast as Mike.

    Ray Leonard had some fast combos and so did Camacho. Not saying these are the fastest though. Joe Louis has some extremely fast combinations

    Maybe i'll say the obvious thing but most middle and lightweights have always had faster combinations than heavyweights, that's why I proposed a thread exclusively on heavyweights to figure out which of them you think have combinations
    as fast as their colleagues in the lighter categories.

    Oh I agree completely. Lost guys in the lighter classes have greater speed in general

    Lewis didn`t throw many combos v Bruno at all and was losing that fight before Bruno tried to end the fight on the ropes and left himself open for a big hook, the follow up combos were very slow with Bruno laying on the ropes and Lewis teeing off.

    Cmon man, Louis weren’t even the fastest for heavyweights let alone be compared to lighter weight speed demons like macho Camacho and Leonard.

    Louis combinations may not have been the fastest but they weren't far off. His hands were a blur at heavyweight.

    You sure it ain’t the blurry black and white poor picture quality that makes it look like a blur?

    I don’t think his were the fastest either. Just saying they were fast. Joe Louis had extremely good hand speed. But yes Leonard and Camacho were faster
