Fastest 100 metres

Boxing Boxing Talk

That “best athlete” topic got me thinking. Which boxers do you think are the fastest at 100 metres? I think it’s not as obvious as it might seem. Apparently Danny Williams could run it in 11 seconds. Frank Bruno was supposed to be quick too. And you wouldn’t think either of them were good sprinters.

If i had to put money on it I reckon Roy Jones could probably have done it under 11 seconds in his prime. Pretty Boy must be fast. Shane Mosley too. Who’s knows? Wlad Klischko could be surprisingly quick. Samuel Peter probably not.

James Toney, if you roll him down a hill. 8)

Nah, but seriously… Roy Jones was an awesome athlete and I would probably put my money on him if there was to be a race.

3

i reckon butterbean is like a gazel. apparently though hatton was quick as fuck in his football days

4

butterbeam and Toney apparnetly were clcoked at 9.87 and 9.88 respectivley leaving Burger King. O0

5

surely they would’ve been faster on the way in then? perhaps clocking under 9 seconds.

yeah, Hatton looks like he could be quick, except when his weight goes up between fights.

suddenly remembered that on a US version of “superstar challenge”, Holyfield beat Carl Lewis over 800 metres.

LOL, did you see Superstars? He is not so quick… :wink:

I think shortly after this Toney and Butterbean had that race to Burger King!!

That’s hilarious. I’ve never seen anyone get so excited about Burger King before. He sounds like he’s going to eat at least 6 Whoppers and 9 fries. Did they pay him to do that?

9

Never really heard of his running but he had fast hands and legs his legs were built like a sprinters so maybe Mike Tyson

10

I reckon naz woulda been pretty fast.

11

Hamed can run pretty fast from a smashed up motor…allegedly.

12

:lol:

13

over 100m the big muscular guys wouls probably win, like a prime tyson for instance. 100m is all explosive power so i think it would definately be a heavy weight between 200 ans 220 lbs would be the fastest. most pro sprinters are pretty bulked up, around 200 lbs

14

You mean entering Burgerking after their jazzercise class. ;D

15

Nah they had just held the joint up for 4 dozen Whoppers 8 dozen fries and 55 hamburgers!!!

16

Jermain Taylor would be the fastest… he went to college on track scholarship.

17

Well that settles that then, i once played the guitar i must be Jimmy Hendrix the second.

18

? WTF… anyways Hatton is likely pretty fast because to play soccer had the higher levels you have to be pretty quick, and if Jermain Taylor gets a scholarship for sprinting I think there is a high chance he is the fastest guy out there… Roy JOnes Jr. looks like somebody who would be very good at the 40 yard dash, but maybe not so good at the 100 meter.

Flash Elorde

Humberto ‘Speedy’ Gonzales

Valuev would be the quickest cos for him 100 metres is only two strides.
