I believe that Bob Hayes was the fastest human who ever lived. Runners after him used steroids and other drugs, but Bob was all natural. Realize that Bob Hayes ran on a crushed rock track in the 1964 Olympic games and established a new world record. If the runners after Hayes ran on that same track., they would have not run faster than Bob Hayes! And the only man to ever win the Olympic gold medal and the super bowl ring!

This is a great video,it proves without a doubt,that this is the fastest a man has ever run,and it was a dirt track,and it proves Bob Hayes ran as fast as need be to win a race,undefeated in 50 consecutive sprints,going into Tokyo Olympics.Hayes would have smoked Bolt at 100 yds.100 meters.

Bob Hayes,ran this 8.55 at Tokyo,in the 4 x 100 meter relay final on a moist cinder track surface,one can only imagine what Hayes could have done ,on todays mondo synthetic tracks,which improve times 2 to 3 percent over what Hayes ran on.No doubt Bob Hayes is the fastest ever to live.

I would say 1. Ben Johnson. 2. Bob Hayes. 3. Bolt.

Jesse Owens 10.2 on dirt with no starting blocks!!! 🤷🏿

WRONG Usain Bolt has the world record in the 100 and 200 meters. Bolt also was a member of the team world record 4x100 meters. Electronic timing is the only way to get accurate measurements down to .001 of a second. Hayes was fast, but not the fastest in history.

27.89mph (44.88kmh), that was what the Guinness Book quoted him as hitting, I think it may have been in the Tokyo final. Not sure of Bolt's top speed. Anyone know?

If Bob Hayes were alive today (in 2024), I believe that he would be a consistent "9.7-low" guy. However, he would not be a "9.58 or faster" guy. In summary, YES to Top 5 in human history, but NO to #1 All-Time, in my opinion.

In history everyone was fast. But fastest human of all time.. Usain Bolt🎉

Look at the dirt Bob was running in. What miracles might he have wrought on modern speed tracks, or modern footwear? Scary to think about

You can all say he was the fastest as much as you like it, it won’t make it true. Just no concrete timed evidence to say he was faster than the man who ran the Olympic 100-200 golds 3 times in a row - no one else has done it once - and broke the world records for both by big margins. You’re all doing guesswork and wishful thinking.

The only man in history to own an Olympic Gold Medal ( he won two) and a Super Bowl Championship ring. Bob was on the 1971 Dallas Cowboys team that won Super Bowl VI in January of 1972.

Bob Hayes would run 9.50 if he was around in the modern era with today's super fast tracks, training and nutrition.

The anchor leg of that 4x100 has been confirmed as 8.56 seconds, which stood until Bolt tied it. Yet Hayes ran on cinder...not as forgiving...truly a genetic wonder and probably the fastest man ever born in modern times. You can make a case for Bolt, especially with the 200...but Hayes has to fit in there, especially considering what he was running on and the times he ran in and the training methods (which are far advanced today). Imagine if Hayes and Bolt lined up in their prime TODAY?

About 50 some years ago my dad pointed him out on the TV and said #22 is Bob Hayes the fastest man that ever lived. He still might be right.

Once in a generation athlete.

He ran a 10.06 auto time on a cinder track in 1964. That is crazy.

彼が白人のチャンピオンだったら、過去を暴かれる事無く、もっと長く活躍出来た。当時の黒人差別は、今から考えても、全く不条理なものだった。

Need to make a movie on him so the young people who the Real deal is Rip Mr Bob Hayes 🙏

I have an Uncle that ran against Bob Hayes. My Uncle said that when the race started, the blocks behind Mr. Hayes went backwards. My uncle saw the blocks flying backwards and pulled up with a hammy. Uncle said that Mr. Hayes wasn't going to embarrass him :)

Bob Hayes had more god given speed,than any man ever to live,in his prime,no one could have beat him at 100 yds.100 meters.

To be fair, that is "a running" start to cover the last leg in about 8.55. Incredibly fast for sure. Also, if you get the baton later in your passing zone the distance isn't exactly 100m. But still a very, very quick time before the PED era.

With today's modern pro.track and advantages mr. Hayes would run 9.4 to 9.2. Remember he was only 21. With pro track could have ran until at least 31 yrs. Old

Faster then a speeding bullet.😅

702. Hayes😊

Bullet😊

No way he ran an 8.5 100 The guys behind him would have run around 9.2 That’s not an accurate timing The watch doesn’t lie

When the Cowboys signed Hayes and people saw he could actually play ball, the Cardinals went out and signed Henry Carr, the record holder in the 200 and tried to cover Hayes one-on-one. He could beat Carr on any route. Staubach said he would take the snap , use a three step drop and throw the ball as far as he could and Hayes would be waiting for it. His times with today's shoes and tracks would be right up three with Bolt's, if not better.

Hayes Owen’s Bolt the only race they will race now is in Heaven these 3 men r the ones the quickest there has ever been I would give anything to c Hayes & Owen’s on modern Tracks Shoes Starting Blocks Sports Science Nutrition what do we think 100m 9:5 like Bolt has 2 b

Bob Hayes is the fastest man to ever live. Period.

I was running track for Walter aJohnson High School back in the late 60's. My track coach Chauncey Ford had been a track coach in Florida when Bob Hayes was in high school and knew him. I was a big Dallas fan because of Bob Hayes and when the Cowboys came to play the Redskins one time Coach Ford ask everyone on the team if they would like to go meet Bob. I and one other guy said YES and the following Saturday evening we went down to DC to the hotel where the Cowboys were staying and went up to his room. Bob was there with Too Tall and two other players. Of course, as kids, we were in awe. I had brought with me a book on the 64 Olympics that had a full two page spread of Bob bursting out of the blocks. He asked me if I had something for him. I opened up to the picture and showed its to him and he had never seen it. He was like a kid showing it to the other players. I asked him to autograph it which he happily did and expressed gratitude for me bring the book and showing it to him. He was a really good guy and yes, fast as hell.

He runs like a heavyweight puncher hitting a heavy bag -pure power

Yeah he was digging on dirt tracks the track shoes wasn't as good as what the runner wear now yup he was very fast maybe the fastest great watching

what happened to him after retirement from sports？

Apologies for the late comment. I understand the criticism is that the clock was started when Bob takes the baton. As the video maker admits, this is not where the relay record officials start the clock for an individual relay. The clock starts when the baton passes the end line of the passing zone, assuming a legal pass of the baton. Bob takes the baton (as all relay runners do) in the passing zone, BEFORE crossing the end line and thus starting the individual relayers clock. In 1964 during the Tokyo Olympics, individuals had a 10 meter acceleration zone, followed by a 10 meter passing zone. The passing zone is the only legal zone in which the baton can be passed, and where Bob received the baton. Again......before the "end line" of the passing zone. Bob's clock doesn't start until he crosses that line. What does this mean for your footage? Since you started your frame rate count at the time Bob takes the baton, you are starting your clock early, not late. What happens when you start the clock at the frame the baton passes the end line? I am fascinated by this race and its place in sprinter mythology. And I have always wondered why there was such difference of opinion on the time of this leg. If you are here, watching this video, you probably know the stories and arguments, so and so hand timed Bob at 9. Another coach at 8.5. Another coach at 8.2. Obviously, hand timing is not as good as electronic. If you figure .2 second slop at BOTH lines, thats almost a half second of slop between coaches. No wonder the numbers vary by a half second. And no wonder we are still arguing about it 60 years later. I applaud your effort to bring engineering clarity to the myth. And look forward to your updated results. NOTE After the 1964 Olympics, the International Association of Track and Field Athletes(sp?) updated the rules to give ALL subsequent relay runners a 20 meter accelration zone. An extra 10 meters. And the records continue to be broken. Usain Bolts Anchor Leg record, note the time is the difference between the end line of the passing zone and the finish line: 8.65ish. NOT when Usain gets the baton or "starts" running ruclips.net/video/bQOw8LF5SM4/видео.html

Kinda makes you wonder WTF he wasn’t #1 on the NFLs fastest men ever list! (Or WTF OJ Simpson wasn’t on the list at all?)

My hero Bob hayes

They're saying Bob Hayes had a unique running form. He was superior in competition, but what was different about his form?

Anchor leg Tokyo , was l believe the fastest ahuman being has ever run .Three meters behind when he received the baton , he won by Three meters.

Bob Hayes, THE fastest human who ever lived....

I bet that was one hell of a thing to witness live

That last 20 yards or so is simply unthinkable. Hayes accelerated at a point where every other sprinter in history would just try to keep their form clean and minimize velocity loss. At the end he was gaining YARDS on his competitors with each stride. His physiology had to be unique.

If Hayes had use of today’s training methods, modern running shoes and ‘ultra, fast’ track types, then no sprinter other than Usain Bolt (in his prime) would be able to challenge him! When Haye’s won the 100m at Tokyo in 1964, he did it from lane 1, which was in a very bad state because it had been ‘chewed up’ by long distance runners.

"Bullet Bob" was insane fast. I remember an NFL game where he was returning a punt down the sideline. Three players had a huge angle on him, and he just blew by them like they were standing still. I hope somebody can find a clip of this, it was amazing.

no he's not

Day in, day out, Usain Bolt is the fastest man who ever lived. On THAT day in 1964, Hayes would have beaten anyone, ever, including Bolt. Sadly, we will never know what allowing professional track might have seen Hayes do. His post-football life was not a happy one.

Bob Hayes was the main reason I watched the Cowboys back in the day. He made it so exciting.

fiiirst class footage

Hayes could not run 200 meters very well

he is not the fastest man. Usain volt is.
