    Hand speed:

    1. Louis
    2. Dempsey
    3. Tunney

    Impossible to rate Corbett and Jefferies because the film quality is so poor. Not their fault. They were great fighters but i can't judge their speed due to low quality film.

    Foot speed:

    1. Dempsey
    2. Tunney
    3. Louis

    Again i can't judge Corbett or Jeff. My hunch is Corbett moved quicker than Louis but Louis could move fast when he wanted to.
