    Good video.#Ali and Robinsons speed was measured by frames per sec,Ali came out on top .Meldrick Taylor and RJ Jnr had very fast hands.

    Agreed,

    Haye is 6'3" and currently weighs 215Lbs. How in the hell someone can equate that to 5'11", 190 is beyond me....

    I believe Jim Jacobs measured the speed of their jabs and Ali's was faster. Robinson never put everything into his jab though.

    Meldrick Taylor and Roy Jones will be included in the next part. Ray Leonard too.

    Patterson beats most of the division except the Klitschkos.

    The jab is a punch you never put "everything" into.

    Which is why I wouldn't compare the speed of Ali and Robinson based on their jabs.

    Overall I'd say that Robinson was faster with his combinations and double/triple left hooks.

    The jab is the punch 'you can not put everything into'.

    Try put too much into it, you'll fall on your face if it read.
