I'm not old enough to know the history behind Floyd Patterson other then in myth and legend. Just watching this is amazing. The guy did work on his opponents.
Wow. Floyd Patterson was explosive! I kinda' wish he fought as a light-heavyweight/cruiserweight--as he most likely would have been more consistently dominant (if those weight classes existed during those times). I always felt that Liston and Ali, amongst other true heavyweights, were too big and strong for him, and would naturally outclass him. But, like a true fighter, Patterson never turned down any challenge.
Ray Robinson, hands down, the fastest and pound for pound best fighter of all time. He had it all, speed, power, style, technique, a good chin, and heart. A true legend. RIP Sugar Ray.
I've timed a LOT of punches of all kinds from pro to plain street fights. Good punches fall into 200 to 160 ms from a guard position to full extension. Half out to full extension wing chun punches are about 100 ms but they have no real guard. Good reaction times are around 200 ms. My auto punch arms punch 200 ms to 100 ms, full extension. These fighters are fast and hard to stop such speed. Brutal sport for sure.
This is a great video not only good boxing scenes but a jedi mind tricks instrumental the best combo should had the entire song not just the instrumental though
suggestions for part two.....Meldrick Taylor....Sugar Shane,....Young Tyson,......and of course Roy Jones Jr......ooh yeah Sugar Ray!! we're talking about everything here right...reflexes, footspeed etc......not just hands......
Ali might not have been faster as far as hands go but I guarrantee you Ali had a better reaction time than any other fighter in this world. I seen ali just turn his head half an inch in the last second just to miss a punch. He was sick.
Robinson was so good at welterweight nobody wanted to fight him when he gave up the title at welterweight he was like 120-1 he was sickening great he wouldve knocked out every 147 lb champion the past 20 yrs lethal power sick speed great chin he expected to win god help you if you cut or knocked him down hands down p4p the best
No boxer has ever been so laser accurate as Ali was in the Cleveland Williams fight. Just look at the footage, he was connecting at like an 80% clip with several lightning punches in a row..
Judging by this video, WOW, I got to say Ali. For a true heavyweight, he was sick. Floyd Patterson was fast too, he looked so thin to be heavyweight, but he was pretty fast too. It makes me glad that I don't box, watching these ridiloulsly fast fighters pound on you. LOL. Nice video.
The saying"speed Kills" is very true in boxing. If I was a fighter I'd take being faster to punch and slipping punches over having a huge punch. I'd also like to have both!!
that's true becuz he never faced Hector until he was well past it. But In the 80s whenever Hector was champion of a divsion, Julio made sure not to make waves
Prince naz should've def. Made this video. A lot of people hated him because of his arrogance but it was also part of his style. Incredible hand speed and was very hard to hit with that unorthodox style. The man had no stance, always moving which wore opponents down. don't sleep on his power either, he put plenty of bigger fighters to sleep. Great fighter
@thewhiteSRR No, I read it elsewhere too, a separate study by Jim Jacobs who measured both fighters' jabs, Robinson's was 8 and a half frames, Ali's was 6 and a half. The 'phantom punch' was 0.04 seconds. But overall boxing skill has to go to Robinson, I think. But Ali's countering ability, speed and accuracy in his prime is unrivaled.
What are you talking about? Prime Tyson's entire system was built upon head movement. Early on he even used the jab successfully. When he stopped doing that and started head-hunting is when he started to go downhill.
@kingdarius1991 Absolutely right.Muhammad Ali was possessed that rare quality of total body speed coordination and agility combined with explosivity at a rare level of performance which makes him beyond question the quickest and fleetest of footwork heavyweight ever and possesed of a marvelous radar which made his defense every bit as truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime as his offense.He'd torch Manny and Tyson in every way possible.
In your opinion. I personally think 2:00, 2:10, 2:12, 2:25 are some pretty decent displays of handspeed myself, not to mention his footwork. Have you ever seen another man land 6-7 jabs in a row?
Sugar Ray Robison- A beast O_O... Fastest and Hardest power punches I have ever seen Willie Pep- Pure speed Floyd Patterson- Pretty quick... but his highlights were more of being a knockout artist Muhammad Ali- The quickest Heavyweight ever... hands down... also the most entertaining of these 4 Shout out to TheGreatA for making this... boxing isn't is great as it once was.
jab speed depends heavely on the speed of your footwork. and willy was a great technical out boxer, and he really belongs in this movie. he is fast, and fast doesn't means just your hands. sugar ray robinson was and is the best boxer that ever lived. and next to him is joe gans in my opinion
@HeavyMental0 Patterson fought like an idiot against Liston. D'Amato wanted Patterson to be a straight-forward pressure fighter but as his opponents got bigger and more powerful, Patterson had to use his speed and skills to win. He couldn't overpower guys like Bonavena and Chuvalo, so he had to outbox them. The Liston fights were a wake-up call for him.
It's mostly handspeed. I disagree that Patterson had "awful" movement, just not comparable to Ali, especially with back troubles. Look at the Patterson-Agosto fight that I've uploaded for example, or Patterson-Chuvalo.
Ali vs Williams had the fastest display of hand speed I've ever seen, and Ali was a heavy weight..ironically that fight was left out of a compilation on the fastest fighters,lol
I can almost predict what Ali's response would have been back in his good ol' trash talking days. "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!! Fool, you crazy if you think your faster than me!!
Fastest Boxers? Wilfredo Benitez, Ezzard Charles, Manny Pacquiao, Terry Norris, Benny Leonard, Meldrick Taylor, Ray Leonard, Hector Camacho, Roy Jones Jr.,Pernell Whitaker,Ricardo El Finito Lopez, Howard Davis, Shane Mosely, Kid Gavilan, Esteban DeJesus, Charchai Chinoi, Junior Jones, Johnny Tapia, Jeff Chandler, Jack johnson, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jose Napoles,
@jj3304 tottaly agree, he was most certianly a unique human bieng, in and out the ring whether as a highly gifted creative fighter or as the most impressive charsimatic characther ever,of the hundreds of ali vidoes of him that r around whethers hes fighting,interviewing,jokeing or amongst world dignitaries hes allways extremly entertaining and he was never ever boreing,God cure him so that atleast we could get to see a bit of that magical charisma that once lightened ppls lives and still does so
if u don't think tyson had a chin, u need to think again. it took late into the rounds of a fight and combinations after combinations to beat tyson. Tyson had a chin like granite, and defense that was equally as underrated
A lot of these smaller dudes, especially the latinos, throw punches so fast they don't even show up on film. It looks like nothing happen and the other dude just falls down. It needs to be shown in slow-motion to actually see what happened.
@brooklyn560 Not just looking at records. Robinson had one punch knock out power in both hands, was incredibly quick and his style revolutionized boxing. Let's talk about his record though. 85-0 as an amateur and 69 came by knockout. By 1951 he had a record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. He finished his career with 105 knockouts, most fighters don't even have half that many fights. Pep was also an amazing fighter with an incredible record.
The Heavyweight class needs to return to dominance in boxing. The reason boxing is dying is because the Welterweights have taken over, which is sad. I would be fine with it if the welterweights were brawlers but they aren't. No great fights like Leonard vs Hearns, Foreman vs Ali, Tyson vs Holyfield, Ali vs Patterson. Now the biggest fights are Victor Ortiz vs Mayweather sad era to live in
"Julio, don't quit! Please Julio, don't quit!" He even quit against Randall in the rematch which I dont see why since it looked even on the scorecards. I think what happned is that Julio knew he met his match and didnt know if he could actually beat another man that was so evenly matched. Julio knew he couldnt beat Randall so he took the easy way out, taking the gift decision. "Technical win" my ass!
Fastest Boxer Of Old Times (1950s -1970s) = Sugar Ray Robinson Fastest Boxer Of Modern Times (1980s -1990s) = Sugar Ray Leonard Fastest Boxer Of New Gen Times (2000-2020s) = Manny (Pacman) Pacquiao
Meldrick Taylor was the fastest fighter I've ever seen. Wilfredo Benitez in his prime was unhittable. Terry Norris had blinding fast hands. Howard Davis's jab was not visible. People forget how quick Emile Griffith was.
Morrales got ko'd twice. Got lucky because Manny got Headbutted. JMM did win no argument there. When Gamboa fights any hall famers he will be worth talking about.
i saved this clip a while back, & marked it "Jimi". Seems like I was more into the track than the video. I don't remember the tune, but it must've been Hendrix. Oops. ...I see anther post revealing it as "Purple Haze"/
Im Yu Jimi Hendrix, since deberia to look for it must be one of the known mas and not entendi finalizes part because I do not speak alone Englishman I translate it
Pep was truly a boxing master with great speed and movement. Quick little moves, subtle and cunning. Truly one of the all time greats.
I'm not old enough to know the history behind Floyd Patterson other then in myth and legend. Just watching this is amazing. The guy did work on his opponents.
great soundtrack unlike most highlights,once again just brilliant,best highlights av seen.
Wow. Floyd Patterson was explosive! I kinda' wish he fought as a light-heavyweight/cruiserweight--as he most likely would have been more consistently dominant (if those weight classes existed during those times). I always felt that Liston and Ali, amongst other true heavyweights, were too big and strong for him, and would naturally outclass him. But, like a true fighter, Patterson never turned down any challenge.
When Muhammad Ali says Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest boxer of all time... I cant argue
Ray Robinson, hands down, the fastest and pound for pound best fighter of all time.
He had it all, speed, power, style, technique, a good chin, and heart. A true legend.
RIP Sugar Ray.
wow Patterson seems to hit hard .. There's like an explosion every time he connects
Damn thats impressive you can cite that off the top. You are true historian of the sport. God bless you for it.
Jimmy Young's left jab and right hand were three times as fast as Ali's.
It's right there on the tape of their fight.
Damn, Floyd Patterson was a beast back in his prime
Fanatastic Video and great soundtrack. Ali was such a badass in the day
Willie Pep is my favorite boxer. He could stick and move but he could also knock you out if he wanted to.
Old movies with this style definition looks like 2 minecraft people fighting. To think we all watched this in awe...
on floyd pattersons part every 5 seconds i was like *DANG!!!!* 5 seconds later *DANG!!!!*
M U H A M M A D A L I. # 1

Sugar Ray Robinson's left hook was simply awesome
ali was soooooo nice that man straight shuffled after delivering a two piece lmao
0:52 "NO MAN CAN ENDURE SUCH PUNISHMENT!!"
Man, they fought like there was no tomorrow back then. Nowadays they fight like, no please tomorrow.
Willie Pep for the win!
Couldn't punch his way out of a quiche - but MAN those feet moved like a ballerina.
The Ali Shuffle is epic!!!
This is a great video not only good boxing scenes but a jedi mind tricks instrumental the best combo should had the entire song not just the instrumental though
Mike Tyson should have definitely made the list. He threw some of the most blazing power punches we've ever seen.
suggestions for part two.....Meldrick Taylor....Sugar Shane,....Young Tyson,......and of course Roy Jones Jr......ooh yeah Sugar Ray!! we're talking about everything here right...reflexes, footspeed etc......not just hands......
Ali might not have been faster as far as hands go but I guarrantee you Ali had a better reaction time than any other fighter in this world. I seen ali just turn his head half an inch in the last second just to miss a punch. He was sick.
You gotta be kidding me Muhammad Ali is top 5 for a man of his weight class to move that fast is an impressive feat on it's own
I agree. I think some people are mistaking "timing" with pure hand speed. Roy Jones is definitely at the top of my list. Taylor would be second.
Robinson was so good at welterweight nobody wanted to fight him when he gave up the title at welterweight he was like 120-1 he was sickening great he wouldve knocked out every 147 lb champion the past 20 yrs lethal power sick speed great chin he expected to win god help you if you cut or knocked him down hands down p4p the best
Willie Pep was fantastic on the offense and defense top top boxer. "Sh*t, they don't make them like that no more"
No boxer has ever been so laser accurate as Ali was in the Cleveland Williams fight. Just look at the footage, he was connecting at like an 80% clip with several lightning punches in a row..
i forgot how awesome floyd patterson was
Judging by this video, WOW, I got to say Ali. For a true heavyweight, he was sick. Floyd Patterson was fast too, he looked so thin to be heavyweight, but he was pretty fast too. It makes me glad that I don't box, watching these ridiloulsly fast fighters pound on you. LOL. Nice video.
imagine how many times robinson was called the n word and he still perceviered stood out amongst the rest
The saying"speed Kills" is very true in boxing. If I was a fighter I'd take being faster to punch and slipping punches over having a huge punch. I'd also like to have both!!
Nice upload. Thanks!
Floyd Patterson was too underrated but he is above anything "awesome" to me.
that's true becuz he never faced Hector until he was well past it. But In the 80s whenever Hector was champion of a divsion, Julio made sure not to make waves
You're right, it's just a clerical error but, even though there was no other boxer that could surpassed Robinson's boxing prowess during 1970s.
Prince naz should've def. Made this video. A lot of people hated him because of his arrogance but it was also part of his style. Incredible hand speed and was very hard to hit with that unorthodox style. The man had no stance, always moving which wore opponents down. don't sleep on his power either, he put plenty of bigger fighters to sleep. Great fighter
wow floyd was crazy fast and explosive.

ray robinson is just incredible
What are you talking about? Prime Tyson's entire system was built upon head movement. Early on he even used the jab successfully. When he stopped doing that and started head-hunting is when he started to go downhill.
Before saying that Tyson was faster from others, remember to count the height.
It's way much more difficult to be fast when you are tall (like Ali)
back then they were real fighters, now most of them ,just try not getting hurt, what is the glory on that!
@kingdarius1991 Absolutely right.Muhammad Ali was possessed that rare quality of total body speed coordination and agility combined with explosivity at a rare level of performance which makes him beyond question the quickest and fleetest of footwork heavyweight ever and possesed of a marvelous radar which made his defense every bit as truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime as his offense.He'd torch Manny and Tyson in every way possible.
Especially in his fixed fights with Sonny Liston.
Man Willie Pep had the best legs of all time. I cannot think of anyone who had better defense or foot work.
In your opinion. I personally think 2:00, 2:10, 2:12, 2:25 are some pretty decent displays of handspeed myself, not to mention his footwork. Have you ever seen another man land 6-7 jabs in a row?
You can't tell Pacman fans anything... But i agree with you
I think Ray Robinson was on the juice lol. What a beast he was
AWESOME CLIP!
Sugar Ray Robison- A beast O_O... Fastest and Hardest power punches I have ever seen
Willie Pep- Pure speed
Floyd Patterson- Pretty quick... but his highlights were more of being a knockout artist
Muhammad Ali- The quickest Heavyweight ever... hands down... also the most entertaining of these 4
Shout out to TheGreatA for making this... boxing isn't is great as it once was.
Ali is legend :D fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee :D
You never going to see a heavyweight as fast as Ali ever again!!!
4:58 holy smoke this looks like something taken out of Dragon Ball,daaayum that speed
Billy Conn should be on the list
sugar ray looked more like a hitman than a boxer
jab speed depends heavely on the speed of your footwork. and willy was a great technical out boxer, and he really belongs in this movie. he is fast, and fast doesn't means just your hands.

robinsons no joke,man hes fast.nice vid
Ali vs Williams had the fastest display of hand speed I've ever seen, and Ali was a heavy weight..ironically that fight was left out of a compilation on the fastest fighters,lol
Nice video thanks
This is what he was born for!
Muhammad Ali. was the fastest boxer ever no other boxer moved like him like a machine gun
Muhammad's hand speed was the fastest and quickest of any fighter of any time. a heavyweight with fast hands was unheard of..
At 1:02 it looks like Sugar Ray hit him so hard, it turned from black and white to color.
I can almost predict what Ali's response would have been back in his good ol' trash talking days. "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!! Fool, you crazy if you think your faster than me!!

The longest Yard (Adam Sandler version),Boss,hes fast,hes so fast that he makes people that are fast look not so fast.
Willie Pep's head almost exploded at 3.00!
ali was so fast he didnt even need defense
A lot of these smaller dudes, especially the latinos, throw punches so fast they don't even show up on film. It looks like nothing happen and the other dude just falls down.

Two fighters that belong on this list are Benny Leonard and Charley Burley,
love sugar ray robinsons left hook
amazing!!
sugar ray- why are you so good??
He's so fuckin' fast that in some of these frames, it looks like the film is sped up!!!!
ali had punches to go with his mouth,
he was the best mixed with power and speed .

Now you're just trolling..concession accepted.. :D
