The only person who said "Olympic-like numbers" was Antonio Moss.
Cannon ran 100 yards in 9.5 seconds; coverted to 100 meters, it is 10.39.
That's a fact. You make your own judgment.

10.39 is not setting the world on fire, but it isn't much slower than many skill players in the SEC today.
Also, take into account the better training and workouts these guys today have and Cannon would've been every bit as good as our skill players today.

It was measured in yards back then instead of meters. 
Who gives a shite if u take our words or not. U probably just a thought in your Daddy's mine back then

Someone earlier said that he ran a 9.3 in the 100 yards. That would have been the world record at the time (9.3 became the world record in 1961).
Cannon was obviously superfast, but you have to think that in the age before digital times, he may have gotten a little bump on the hand timed 100s.
