Why do heavyweights tend to be slower? I sparred a 210 lb partner. I myself weigh 160 and he did wear me down with his strength on the inside, but he moved so slow in everything. Movement, punches, and his feet looked really heavy. Does having extra weight affect footwork and agility?
Extra mass will effect range of movement and speed.
I'm 270 and I've been told I punch incredibly fast. It depends on your conditioning and if you have fast twitch fibers that activate more efficiently when you throw a punch.
