Chris Johnson against Usain Bolt?

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson says he can run with Usain Bolt.

Despite being wowed by the Olympic champion, Johnson believes he would be up to the challenge against Bolt if they were face to each other in the 40.

"I feel like if I would have kept training for track I'd have a chance, but I play football and he runs track, so it's totally different," Johnson told the Tennessean. "I think I could still probably beat him in the 40. If I actually trained for the distance he trained for, I think I'd have a chance."

Even with his proclamation, Johnson has the utmost respect for Bolt, who is considered the fastest man in the world.

"He is a great athlete," Johnson told the newspaper. "I think he'll be the best track athlete to ever compete in the Olympics."

After setting world records in the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics four years ago, Bolt broke his Olympic mark in the 100 by running 9.63 seconds in London. Bolt is also the world-record holder (9.58).

Johnson does have a running pedigree to at least offer a challenge to Bolt. He was a high school track star in Orlando and clocked at 4.24 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in 2008. It still stands as the fastest time ever at the combine.

While Johnson has said he wouldn't mind running against Bolt, the Jamaican track star told a British newspaper earlier this week that he'd like to play for soccer giant Manchester United.

"People think I am joking, but if Alex Ferguson called me up and said, 'OK let's do this, come and have a trial,' it would be impossible for me to say no," Bolt told the Sun on Monday. "I would not take up the challenge if I didn't think I was good enough. I am a very accomplished player and know I could make a difference."

Just because it's an article on a sports website doesn't always mean make it a thread on BX.[pic]

40 yards is roughly 36 meters and bolt has a slow start

he may be able to beat him, but it doesn't really mean anything

please he couldn't even out run d jack the god

Chris would win.

Stop man look at johnsons weight he said if he trained if he trained he wouldnt be as big as he is

this clown needs to focus on not being a bust in fantasy football this year instead of racing anyone[pic]

seen some sht the other day sayin if bolt was to run a 40..his time would or could come in @ 3.97 by thier breakdown of it

Bolt would !! on CJ

He wasn't even trying to run fast..

Desman had the inside track

Did they break down his acceleration or just take his 100 m time and slice by like a 3rd?

40 yards, Chris has the advantage, 100 meters Bolt would dust this nicca so bad. The one thing I see is their physical make up, Bolt is 6-5 180, tall, lean, low body fat, while Chris Johnson is about 5-8 190, more muscle, more compact, his muscle would slow him down in a longer distance race. I remember watching him race DeSean Jackson on that show Shaq had when they did the relay and DJax dusted him hard [pic] but I will give him an advantage in the 40, because Bolt is a slow starter. But CJ did run like a 10.3 in high school though, but in the 100, Bolt would win by 10-15 meters.

Deion Sanders in his prime would have a better chance vs Bolt right now.

Wait niccas actually think CJ is beatin Bolt [pic]


[pic] WTF man....

Bolt would smoke this dumbass.

No way he's sub 9.6 in the 100m CJs 4.24 40 doesn't translate to anything close to what Bolt runs.

this^^^ you fools who think CJ would be even close are delusional
