    I think there were faster heavies and Haye was very sloppy.

    Is it an unwritten rule for all these YouTube boxing videos to have Mike Tyson in the thumbnail? I seen a video about Tommy Morrison and Tyson somehow squeezed his way into the thumbnail.

    As for the question...

    Mysterious Billy Pickles
    Tyson
    Patterson
    Ali

    So is this thread about fast Or sloppy? I am not a Haye fan but one of his advantages was speed who would you say is definitively faster of hand?

    I don`t think he was that quick, I think Tyson could fit about 3-4 punches in betwen Haye`s 1-2`s I don`t tghink he was faster than Holmes and Paterson was quick also, Dokes was faster.

    Yes. Jones was pan fed Ruiz for that one. Roy and his handlers: "Let's see, who of these plethora of 'champions' do we have the best chance of beating"?
    Patterson would UD RJJ or stop him late at heavy (sooner if he had an Ingo 2 mentality).
    Out!!!

    Tubbs was no joke, but Dokes and Page were at least as fast.

    Patterson bulked up to not far into the 190's. Modern day LHWs weigh around what his heavier weights were on fight night. He would be a LHW.

    Liston was 212 for one fight against Floyd, around that for the other, his prime weight was 210-215.
    Not around 200 for either.
    The rest of what you said makes sense.
