both of these two guys have great wheels, but i will say that the NKTOB has not arrived yet.

ciao

3

what??? sms writting is confusing for some of us.

4

All us older dudes are not that slow …

New Kid on the Block
NKOTB

5

i rememeber that boy band. sadly.

6

Do you remember Tiffany?, I used to have fantasies about her…damn

7

No way! hahaha…We’ve got to have a chat later Martin.

“I think we’re alone now…there doesnt seem to be anyone around…” LOL Lmao!!

Back on topic…Mo greatest of all time!!

8

lol powells not quite at mos level yet…but i think he could be one day

9

Mo 97-04
Powell 04-06 [half way through in 3 seasons]

If Powell keeps going at this rate he will double Mo’s sub-10 performances in 5 years :slight_smile:

10

I don t know how to compare athletes. But looking at top 3 times:

Asafa
9.77
9.77
9.77

Greene
9.79
9.80
9.82

And who else ever ran sub 9.85???:
9.77 Justin Gatlin
9.78 Tim Montgomery
9.79 Ben Johnson
9.84 Donovan Bailey
9.84 Bruny Surin
9.84 Tyson Gay

That s it - make of it what you want…

11

The more critical issue is that Powell has shown for the first time he can complete the season injury free. He still needs to show he can win the Big Meets that Greene won over and over. That can start next year.

12

good piont charlie powell aint gonna be N01 sprinter unless he gets some medals under his belt

13

True Charlie, BUT is it the titles that make a sprinter a good sprinter or is it the results [sub10] or it has to be both?

I agree that Powell needs to win some major titles [no question about it] and I was kidding when I said he may double Mo’s sub10 performances. I like Mo very much and I think he is one of the greatest ever but if Powell continues his domination the way he has been running this season, wow, I know I will enjoy it.

Mo has got both, titles and results, I know, but we need to give Powell more time. If Powell’s career is to be long and injury free there is no doubt in my mind that he would score titles as well as sub10 performances that not many sprinters will be able to match or come close to.

I watch both of them on video weekly and I wish Mo was in his prime this season to run against Powell. That would be interesting to see.
