Which Heavyweight Champs had the fastest Handspeed?

That is because he wasnt. He was only a contender.

 

Ali and patterson, but Patterson was blindingly fast with better punches.

 

patterson in most likelihood.

Byrd has a pretty decent shout also.

including guys who were never the best, the obvious answer is roy jones.

 

Corrie Sanders

ad then Chris Byrd but in effective power punching ? Corrie Sanders by large margin over any1 .

Patterson was the quickest equal with Roy Jones, Ali after that. Dempsey and Tunney are both faster than Louis and Tyson.

 

Holyfield was pretty rapid in his prime and although they didn't hit that hard Tony Tubbs and Michael Dokes were lightning,every bit as fast as your Pattersons and Alis imo.

 

Floyd Patterson
Mike Tyson
Roy Jones ;-P

 

tyson paterson ali dokes holmes .

 

the guys who talk about tyson, yeah he was fast but he never comes close to ali, i forgot the name but a famous american train who trained tyson and wlad klitschko briefly said that wlad had faster hands than tyson. so tyson can't be that fast.
ali, holyfield at the beginning of his heavyweight campaign, herbie hide and david haye (not really champs) but ****ing fast hands, chris byrd, holmes, peterson and louis, and jones (same like haye and hide)

 

Are we forgetting Sultan Ibragimov? I would like to add his name to the names mentioned till now.

 

Ali
Patterson
Tyson
