Anyone else think that Tyreek Hill would beat Usain Bolt in 40m dash?

Right now yes. Hill raced teammate Mecole Hardman in a 40 in practice and clowned him. Hill will be fast as long as he's in the league. Bolt is retired and trying to live off his past glory. Him saying he's in great 100m form is cap.

I doubt that Bolt could ever break 10 seconds ever again even if he trained

Bolt looked pretty soft in that 800 he ran.

Bolt is not the 9.5 runner he used to be but if he had half a year to get back in shape he'd win 70m in my opinion and maybe at 40y.

Tyreek isn't the 10.19 runner he used to be he's put on alot of weight after his track years.He's probably not as fast as his rookie year either, getting hit that often can take alot out of you.

That being said I say a prime usain bolt runs 4.06 with combine timing and a old but still in shape bolt manages 4.20 This is just an assumption though and usain would have to train intensely for this.

At 70m he beats him soundly 7.4 to 7.7. A prime bolt would be around 7.1 at 70m.

At 40m it’s not even worth watching. Bolt’s too big for 40m. You have little short legs Tyreek vs long legs Bolt at 40m. Tyreek would win by a couple strides. 70m would be closer but still Bolt has been retired for 4 years so a silly idea.

Then again, we saw the Seahawks WR (forgot his name) get demolished at 100m by no name sprinters. So maybe Bolt would have a chance if these football players overestimate their speed. You gotta remember a 4.2 40 yard dash in the NFL is an all-time great time. 4.2 for a track sprinter is nothing. And Tyreek can’t run a 4.2 right now. Bolt might be able to.

Hard to go against Bolt in any race, but given his age and break in competition I'd expect Hill to beat him at any distance. If Bolt is taking it serious and training like an animal then I'll change my side.

Sounds like you are making broscience excuses for Bolt to me.

I think Tyreek Hill is a woman abuser & isn't deserving of added attention.

It will never happen. Hill would need permission from KC to run a race against Bolt. KC would never agree to risk a top WR/franchise player just as the season is starting.

And the other issue is how long does Bolt get to train? If he gets a few months, he wins 10/10 because Hill will be all beat up from regular season play. If he gets no time to train and has to race next weekend, Hill wins 10/10 because Bolt is clearly out of shape.

This is all just smack talk to get more traffic on social media for these guys. Bolt is the greatest sprinter of all time and owes no one a race in retirement.

Bolt should just stay retired. He has nothing to prove. Let Hill race De Grasse if he wants to prove how fast he is - at any distance.

I’m wondering just how much slower Bolt has gotten after 4 years.

Surely the fastest man in history and still only 34 and not fat can roll out of bed and beat Thompson-Herah so that’s 10.6 at worst. He must be 10.4 or 10.5 just walking around with no training.

I think Hill would win but Bolt could take him with 6-12 months of training.

I agree with you on ever point. While Bolt at his prime was unstoppable, in the world of sprinting 1 second separates you from World Champion to Just Another Guy.

Bolt in his prime would have been thumped by Hill in a 40.

Now that's just silly

What’s the upside for Bolt? I’m so confused.

I recall just seeing the Seahawk guy get murdered by a bunch of sprinters I've never heard of, so give Bolt until next summer and he'll win by 3 meters. Do it on turf like the NFL guys do their 40, and it's Bolt by five feet.

Bolt is bored and Hill is arrogant. Bolt spent a decade living like a god. Now an Olympics comes an goes without him so he needs some attention.

In any case Hill would currently destroy him in a 40. If bolt did some training he would have no problem in a 100. In a 75 it would be very close:

shows what a piece of crap Hill is. Bolt has been retired and probably gained 30 pounds. Why does Hill need to trash talk a retired runner? Not to mention Hill abuses women. He should be in jail, not in the NFL.
