Wladimir Klitchkos speed

Wlad has fast hands for a super heavyweight, maybe the fastest hands ever for a guy his size, only Lewis is comparable for similar sized heavies and I'd give Wlad the slight edge as his punches were straighter and more compact.

But compared to smaller heavies Wlad's speed doesn't compare to the likes of Ali, Patterson, Tyson etc.

 

Flat top Lewis was faster than Wlad. Steward Lewis the same , probably slightly faster.

The looping right hand that poll axed Rahman was as fast as any Wlad right hand.
That punch had an angle on it and wasn't straight as Wlads yet it was still just as fast.

 

That's some exceptionally funny trolling. :good

Wlad's arms weigh about 20 kg each, padding adds about 0,0000001 per cent to the weight you have to move when punching.
:rofl

 

Vlad is quick, quicker than Lewis..........................also has great footwork, balance and tons of power..............Steward said that Vlad had more natural talent than Lewis and one punch knockout power.....................

 

I boxed in a competitive amateur level for 15 years in my youth and for a man of my size (95kg, about 15% fat at my late 40's), the glove size means **** to the speed of a punch. I know for a child under 10 years old it makes a bit of difference, since I have taken my kid to gym, but once you get some muscle in your arms effect of amount of padding is meaningless, if we are talking about hand-speed. But funny trolling :good.

Of course you should have your feet planted when power punching, but we are discussing speed here and Ali and Holmes, for example, could do speedster stuff that Wladimir never was able to do and never will. Like jabbing lightning fast in movement or throwing lead right hand without opponent being able to react to it any kind of way. Ali hit his right hand so fast that it is really stupid to compare Ali's speed to Wlad -they are totally different fighters. Wlad obviously has the power, but not the speed in any department.

 

Some nice posts on this page of the thread

 

Tyson, Patterson, and Ali all have faster hands than Wlad.

 

Swimmers don't shave to lose weight, just as a sidenote...

 

Different weight classes...

 

What weight class were they from?

 

wlads hands are not slow, its his body size that's the hindrance.

for his size he moves pretty good, but its not fast because of his size, he just cant with all that bulk.


the handspeed is not bad though, though its fallen off considerably recently as anyones would due to age.

 

Who are the idiots saying he's slow?

 

the problem appears to be someone, whose termite shall not be mentioned, trying to pretend hes faster than ali.
