johnson's much smarter and faster

you gotta be kidding me? Greene better than bolt? Bolt's just taken .11 off the WR in one go. ONE GO.

There is no argument - Bolt is better than Greene. Fact. And he broke the 200m record - which "G.O.A.T." failed to do. He's running times and at speeds that Greene could only ever have wished for

Maurice Green= too cocky and doesn't respect the competition  Michael Johnson= keeps to himself and respects himself and his competition

@AlcuinTillIDie man forget greene lets see bolt beat johnson in the 400 lol

LOL @ the way Michael says "He's gotta convince this group around 'I'm not afraid of Micheal' but we know what the means...YES YOU ARE". Classic. This shit was like WWF back then.

@eagleeyejerry True, records are meant to be broken.

[eagleeyejerry]

@Antrizzle2009 I agree Most athletes want to see their sport and their own event evolve. I know Michael Johnson was that way when U B broke his 200m rec. You can only aim at what is before you so for instance, the 10 second barrier was a goal, then anything under that. Its like R Bannister and the sub 4 min mile. It was thought impossible, yet when he broke it, three guys broke it the next year. Life evolves so does athletics and its records otherwise this conversation wouldn't be happening! lol

[Antrizzle2009]

@eagleeyejerry I think he could definately do damage in the 400 if he actually worked at it. I could see him easily running sub 44 seconds if he took a year to train for it. Also, Mike Powell said he thinks Bolt could break 9 meters in the long jump with the proper training. He already has the height and the speed. With the proper technique he could win a gold in that.

[Antrizzle2009]

@eagleeyejerry I do agree with you on that. It's not fair to compare athletes of different eras in any sport. They were all great for their particular time period. It would be like trying to compare Jesse Owens to these guys now and he was barely running a 10.2 in the 100. It's just not fair to do so. Athetes are bigger, stronger, and faster than in yester year.
