I was talking meters. Albeit the one from the seventies was extrapolated to 100m.

That is still blazing fast, especially for a white dude.

We don't have to. Last time I checked, nothing chasing us.

Well there is that but the real reason is blacks have longer legs and higher hip bones which is why they are faster and better in the hips at cornerback and white have longer torsos which is why we are better at swimming and powerlifting. The average black has about 1.5 inches longer legs and that is 100% science, google it.

Ali - GOAT

No, because Ruth is only considered GOAT by old geezers and those trying to sound sophisticated.

How the hell is Ali v mayweather a fair comparison?

You would have to compare Ali to someone in his own weight class

And also are we to assume that they grew up now and got the same benefits or nutrition and training like the athletes today or are we talking about a situation were they are just time traveled here from their prime and instantly inserted into a competition?

If it's the latter, none would be great, the average level of competition is much higher now, they excelled in a time where many playing the game worked other jobs, didn't train during the off season.
