    Old Timers IMHO are boxers who fought from X date till the 1960s
    That being clarified, which one of them was the fastest of them all?

    To clarify x2, i don't mean it in a p4p sense, i mean this in a complete H2H manner, not like "oh he was fast for his weight class" but actual dazzling exuberant speed, who is the fastest of them all?

    I liked how he counters,maybe quite hittable if you can even time him,like how Barney Ross demonstrated,but his reflexes were very good.
