I can't find the footage, but there is a kid in highschool who is 6'6 300 pounds who runs the 40 in 4.3 seconds runs the 100 meters in 9.97, and has 35 inch arms with a 45' vertical jump. He plays football, and he obviously could have none of the tangibles of a boxer, but he may very well be the best athlete in the world.
I don't believe its true. PERIOD. Not saying that YOUR lying. Just that the info itself is false please note that the qualifying time for the 2004 olympics for the mens 100 m dash was 10.21-10.28Quote:

This is his best time, and I do understand its fast, but there are something like 15-20 guys in the NFL who could be on the USA 100 meter team.
ya i know but they are wide outs & corners NOT linemen!
Do you know how stupid 35 inch arms would look ?
That is false info..
Why? My arms are 30 inches long from shoulder to the end of my fist.Quote:

...but a 300 pound guy could NEVER go sub 10 seconds for 100 metres ;D
Jonah Lomu, the former New Zealand All BLack winger was 6'5", 19 stone and did the 100 metres in just over ten seconds in his prime.Quote:

Let me break down just how categorically false these claims are. First off, Gregg Valentine had the largest arms in the world at 27", and even that looked friggin rediculous. As for the 45" vertical jump. The best high school kids' vertical jump in recent memory belonged to a kid who played Chicago's Farragut high school, Ronnie Fields at 48". No way a 300 pound guy is jumping 45". As for the speed, 9.97s for 100m is faster than most guys ran in the last olympics. Again, not happening for a 300 pounder. To put his claimed 4.3 40 speed into perspective against mere mortals like us... When I played high school football at 6'3", 215 pounds I could run the forty in 4.5, and I was one of the fastest guys in a pretty serious football conference. There are only a few kids nationwide each year that come out of high school running a 4.3, and they tend to be about 6'1", and 185 or 190 pounds. If this kid you speak of does exist, he's the last son of krypton, and I'd check his chest for an S.
How about Brock Lesnar
In an open training session in Arizona he ran a 4.65 40 yard dash, 35 inch standing vertical jump, 10 foot standing broad jump, and benched 225lbs 30 times
Currently training to be a mma fighter. For a guy of his size and muslce mass he's pretty athletic
If this guy does exist he's on the most advanced steroids science can make or he is half machine.
