@phastman1994 Actually Greene did beat Johnson over 200m. They ran in the 200m in either 1999 Prefontaine Classic and Greene crushed Johnson. I believe Greene ran a wind-aided 19.84, Johnson ran over 20 second
@420MaxMad I agree i think Green would beat Johnson in a 100m. Lol thats kinda funny cause Johnson did mysteriously pull up in those races but there is no denying Micheal Johnsons ability. He was a great sprinter for the US.
@jrussell04 Yeah exactly, and Johnson may have never gotten the title "Worlds Fastest Man" cause in order to have that title you normally have to be the 100m WR holder, but I still do consider him to be one of the greatest if not the greatest sprinter of all time!
bolt got lucky by having a 6'5ft frame. his long legs give him alot of power. But his downfall could be his starts out the blocks. its typical for taller athletes.
@jaykruse Depends what even though.. Johnson was a 200m/400m sprinter, he never even specialized in 100m (his PB was 10.09) so theres no way he could've beaten Greene over 100m in peak form, just like Greene couldn't take Johnson in 200m or 400m. I can't see another sprinter being equally dominant in both 200m and 400m for 7-8 years.
@420MaxMad Greene couldn't take Johnson in 200m. Greene's 200m PB was 19.86, Johnson's was 19.32, theres no comparison. And Johnson's records haven't all been beaten, he still holds 3 WR's 300m - 30.85, 400m - 43.18, and 4x400m - 2:54.29.
@420MaxMad Obviously Johnson can't beat Greene in 100m, Johnson never even specialized in 100m.. just like Greene can't take Johnson in 200m or 400m. Johnson did pull up against Bailey in the 150m in 97 to determine the fastest man but theres no proof he pulled up at the 2000 Olympic trials, I think that was a real injury for both Johnson and Greene. And the 200m/400m double is also much harder than the 100m/200m double IMO.
@KushPizzaSleep Where did you hear he did or any facts? ive never heard his name every brought up in any steriod scandel but if you have some kind of proof i would love to see it......Otherwise my guess is your british and just like to hate on american talent
amazing how the WR is set by less than a body length.
insane 9.68 this past week at the trials though!
GOAT
WINSTROL DEPOT !!!!
He has already been tested. The Jamaicans are probably the most tested athletes in Beijing.
@KushPizzaSleep Maurice Green was clean. By far the best american sprinter of all time
amazing

@jaykruse Michael Johnson was the greatest American sprinter of all time and still is IMO.

@luigibattista10 yeah he was sick, his 19.72 stood for a good 17 years!

He's got the World Record right? That's all that matters. Stop trying to discredit his achievements.

@jrussell04 I actually meant Greene couldn't take Johnson as in consistently beat him over 200m, Johnson was clearly much better in 200m than Greene.
@phastman199, Yes I agree with that Johnson was the superior 200m runner. If they ran the 200m 10 times, Johnson would win 8 or 9 out of 10.

Im 11.4 too -.-
@phastman1994 fair enough. and he is a great sprinter to i just dont think he could have beat Green
11.9 : >
He would still have the record if he did not pull a hamstring on one race. He would of ran a 9.74 but got hurt and stll won.
i ran a 11.0 in high school, and im white, ran a 4.58 40.
its speeded up. look at the seconds
a 9.98 in the 100m, but only run a 21.42 in the 200m.. something doesnt add up.
exactly 11 is pretty slow, i would be breaking records left and right in nz
100 yards = 91.44 metres...prolly what you ran
only 11? i wanna move to nz....become a national champ or somthing lol
must have been 100 yards. Or you flipped the numbers 15.10 seconds.
you spelled you're wrong
~irony
my record 11.0 but I run 200 meters

what do you do now 49 seconds?
I think 11.4 is fast. Mines 12.1...
Maurice Green was an Okay 200m sprinter. Nothing special. MJ was better at the 200m by far than Green. MJ has over 20 sub 20s in the 200m.
Bolt his on drugs . WILL see when he will be tested .
OW SHIT
@KushPizzaSleep Where did you hear he did or any facts? ive never heard his name every brought up in any steriod scandel but if you have some kind of proof i would love to see it......Otherwise my guess is your british and just like to hate on american talent
this dude was so roided out
nobody cares
