Is Roy The Fastest Heavyweight Ever

watch ali v liston and the ali from 64-67,then watch peak patterson and peak tyson,then compare with the jones from the ruiz fight,not the 160-75 jones.

 

Ali hands down.

 

Of course he was

 

I never considered RJ to be a heavyweight. So no, he isn't the fastest HW. Yes he did have one fight at heavy, but this does not make RJ a HW.

My paradigm of a HW in boxing fits in the parameters of someone who is naturally 200+ or someone who may be under 200 lbs but fought most of their career at HW (200+). This is not RJ.

 

tyson is the fastest ever imo...

 

was roy jones the fastest flyweight ever when he was 13 ?
was he the fastest bantamweight ever after his mum gave him his dinner when he was 13.

 

This is the most stupidist question ever. Roy Jones isn't a heavyweight so this argument is mute.

 

Ali was, the probably Patterson, Tyson, Dokes, Page, and a few others.

 

Frank 'the Flash' Bruno

 

Kevin McBride?

 

Patterson was faster.

 

Not likely. His speed against Ruiz was magnified by Ruiz lack of speed.

I'd take a prime Ali from what I've seen over the years. Not that I think Larry Holmes is the fastest, but against Marvis Frazier I could barely see Holmes punches the combo's were so fast. Anyone else notice this or was I just too f%$#ed up that night.

 

one fight against a fighter of the high caliber of john ruiz does not make rjj a heavyweight.

 

i forgot about 'lightspeed' mcbride

 

Tyson is faster than Jones at Heavy.

Fastest 5 punch combination in history.
