Are you proud of that comment?

Malmo, good point, it is an only matter of time thing before he goes after this in earnest, I am sure that was your point.. However there about a ton of U.S. Guys who can run this mark almost any given weekend by outdoors and not make our own 4 x4, also a fact.

Clearly you missed my point and the obscene remark?

Another internet tough guy, you should look in that mirror and then go lift some weights and then? After all that is done, look me up I am easily found.

Any big meet, any month of the year, that "cum" talk it is childish and inappropriate.

While his time is super impressive, he would still get beat by the Usain Bolt of 2002. His 400m PR from HIGH SCHOOL was 45.3.

Faster times are yet to come, assuming he focuses on the 400.

A better question is, how fast does he need to be to pass MJ as the best 100, 200 and 400m runner ever?

Michael Johnson wasn't that great at the 100 (by elite standards). He was purely a 200/400 guys. Bolt already has him WAAAYYY beat on the 100, barely in the 200, and the 400 is to come in the next year or so (at most).

While his response was a bit goofy, he did not miss your point unless it was some type of crypted message. Your point was pretty basic and 430's response clearly indicated that he got what you were saying.

What's the deal with that last paragraph - did he injure a hammy?

What could he run in the 800?

My response to the childish "cum again" remark was inapproriate, I apologize.

I'd say Bolt has MJ beat by more than Barely in the 200m. In a 200m race in each of their primes (which may not even have come yet for Bolt) I'd pick Bolt 10 times out of 10.

MJ has him by the nads in the 400m for now though.

hes already done it.

how many out door records does mj currently hold? 1

how many out door records does bolt hold? 2 and counting

mj is history. bolt is just beginning, and alread has more world records than mj has, including breaking the 100, and then the 200 which used to be michaels.

mj never had the wr in the 100. bolt will have the wr in all 3, 2 of which used to be michaels. i dont see why we need to wait another year until he smashes the wr to label him the best sprinter ever. his 100 and 200 meter world records, both breaking his own, are a clear statement of that. the 400meters has never, and will never, be an sort of physiological indication of sprinting ability. it only shows who can run the turns. bolt has set all of his wr's on lesser attempts than mj. hes grown up in a poverty training environment.

bolt is the most explosing athlete of all time, and already the best anaerobic athlete of all time.

michael johnson will continue to go down in history as the best (black) american sprinter of all time. he will never be know as the world best sprinter again.

btw, shall we start the debate of whether bolt or wariner will get the 400 record first? because this will be the undisputable indicator of who is the best current sprinter the world has ever scene.

He ran 44. when he was 16. He will get the 400m world record at some point in his career.

did he let up in the last 30 meters?

Actually, his official PB was 45.28 in 2007. Usain competed as a 400 sprinter in Youth Championships. But NOW he doesn't WANT to do the 400. He doesn't like the lactate stuff and he said so within the last month. In fact, he started training for the 100 last year (and started doing some weights in the offseason) to AVOID doing the 400.

The 400's you see Usain and Asafa do are off their base (general prep) work, which includes weekly 300 sessions (but below their all-out capability).

People can talk about Bolt going after MJ's 400 record all they want, but there's a BIG difference in the training to do 400 in 45 from doing it in 43 (for people who have the talent). And thus far, Usain doesn't have the desire to do that training.

It will take a while to get the record. I doubt whether he has the appropriate drug regimen in place right now.
