    128-1-2 his ****ing uppercuts and hooks had the lethal mix of speed and power that we havent seen SINCE:nono

    Roy's fast as lightning bra, better where ya Nike's bra, NO DOUBT!!
    But he didnt have the same type of power.

    Taylor, SRL, Tyson, ALI, Hearns, Camacho, Whitaker and others if ya spend enough time thinking about it all had blazing speed.

    You found that link more impressive?

    Ali was showcasing his incredible speed in the context of a championship fight, whereas that was pretty much a training ground simulation.

    I acknowledge that Tyson had incredibly fast hands, but I feel Ali showcased his speed more often. He even showcased incredibly fast hands after his exile, against fighters like Quarry, Frazier, and Foreman. Also worthy of note that Ali's punches travelled a further distance than any of Tysons, and his opponents still couldn't see them coming.

    I give preference to Ali.

    There is alot of fast guys out there. I think a better example is to point out times that hand speed made the instant difference in a fight outcome. For example one combination that always impressed me with its pure speed, and power. Was the one that SRR knocked out Rocky Graziano with. Rocky never knew what hit him. If you watch that film that right hand that knocked him out was as fast as any punch ever thrown. A blur. Some other examples of this

    SLL vs Dave Green
    Hearns vs Duran
    PBF vs Hatton
    Tyson vs Holmes
    Dempsey vs Willard
    Foster vs Quarry


    The loser in those fights never saw the super fast punch that dropped them.
