even if he hadn't have pulled up he never would have made up the two yards on Bailey..not over that distance anyway.

Bailey had a faster top speed.

obviously, or johnson would of been a 100m sprinter, as quick as he was over 400m you would never beat a top sprinter

It was a groin injury, Johnson got injured a lot thats why he retired

Maybe so, but he was never as fast as DB.

Beds, true. I only said that because the Americans kept claiming to have the worlds fastest man and it clearly wasn't true.

If it wasn't for injuries he would have been. And he was without injury And you can't say "clearly" because you don't know what would have happened if Johnson wasn't injured. Only assume.

I remember when they did this. It came about because of Johnson's 200 m time something like 19.32 sec or around there. Everybody started talking that with splitting Johnson's time he would have won the 100 m gold. But that is why they are two different races, hard to successfully compare one with the other.
