who had better handspeed- Tyson or Ali?

[TheGreatA]

I've seen Tyson land triple uppercuts in a fight with the left.

I'll see if I can remember which opponent.

I think I've found it:

Ali had quicker hands but a lot of that is because Tyson loaded up on every punch. If he was as loose and fluid as Ali, he could have been as fast. We won't know, though, because they didn't throw the same way.

The late Jimmy Jacobs, then the owner of the world's largest fight film collection, once measured Ali's jab by an omegascope. He found that Sugar Ray Robinson's jab took 8.5 frames of film. Ali's took only 6.5!! Faster than the fastest middleweights!

Hi GreatA, thats the video I was thinking of. Top marks.

Obviously in the passage of time and with the speed of the combination I forgot that it was a left hook then two uppercuts with the left.

Dazzlingly fast work by Tyson!

I'm going with Ali's

Muhammad Ali's jab was faster than Sugar Ray Robinson's!!
