More talented athlete: Usain Bolt or Jon Jones?

[Leroy Jenkins]

LMFAO @ people thinking Usain Bolt is natural and that running fast is the only measure of athleticism.


Athleticism includes coordination,endurance,speed,strength,flexibility,etc......Usain bolt only has one of these factors.


Jon Jones has actual prove that he has better coordination,endurance,strength,flexibility,hand speed, etc........The list goes on and on...Usain bolt only has running.


Sprinters are not that good athletes tbh....I seen plenty of sprinters who couldn't cut it in real sports that take coordination and more than 1 athletic attribute.

Bo is the best all around athlete since Jim Thorpe.

to be fair nfl players (and probably baseball too) are not A-level athletes

also
usain bolt definitely is full natty brah

No comparison, Usain Bolt.

Jon Jones is one of the first truly athletic people to enter the octagon. Brock Lesnar was too old when he entered.

But as far as genetics, Usain Bolt's a freak of nature, it's not like he just won an event, he's dominant at the most basic of human movements -- Running. Running may have complexities, but still, every nation can produce runners, there is no real financial burden blocking interested participants like say... Ice Hockey.

Long limbs, short torso, fast twitch dominant, high levels of circulating testosterone, ATP turnover efficient, Usain is top shelf.

Jon Jones is a high level athlete but not quite the specimen Usain is.

You can find more specimens like Jon Jones than you ever would Usain in terms of genetic potential. Of course, Usain would never come off as well-rounded since his scope and training methods require a different skill set.

Not all players in any given league or sport are A-level (however one measures that). But the best athletes in MLB and the NFL are most assuredly elite athletes.

Top athlete in the world.

I'm looking forward to seeing him crack 9000 in a couple of weeks.

nah nfl is a joke

Wtf ? Who else have you seen throwing all types of flying knees and kicks and spinning elbows in the LHW division? Jones was doing shit like that in the octagon against top level guys from day one.

The UFC has yet to experience a talent bloom in overall athleticism. Wait another 20 years for things to really level out, like in say... Football.

 

[mmafansince93]

Two black guys with the same height and weight that have been dominating theirs respective sports these last years and setting records...

Who would u guys pick as the biggest talent?

It's not even close

BOLT all the way.

But keep in mind while Bolt has never been directly implicated, no Human Being can naturally run 9.7 and 19.2 in the 100M and 200m. Doping is just a matter of fact in Track and Field...

Look at his arms and shoulders... no way hes natural

Lol at you thinking throwing flying knees and spinning elbows requires some kind of special talent. Hahaha.

 

[in the liver]

Bolt is probably a better driver.

i was struggling to define the nature of this comparison but you cut through all the red tape

 

[empsim]

not sure how much running 100 metres in a straight line has to do with talent

Usain Bolt's cousin Insane Bolt!

What's so amazingly athletic with baseball? Serious question. Sure, they're great athletes no doubt, but I fail to see what makes them better than top olympic wrestlers, gymnasts, decathletes etc.

 

[Sudoistehgoat]

Bo Jackson

Fuck.yes.

 

[lorenzofertatta]

Best athlete

Dbol is the breakfast of champions, not wheaties

 

[Sgt Smith]

Emmanuel Yarbrough was the most A-level of A-level athletes EVERRRRRR

May he rest in peace

"A" stands for adipose in this example, right?

Name one LHW fighter in history who is 6'4 and does flying knees and spinny shit.

 

[Sudoistehgoat]

Fuck.yes.

He is already a legend for those in the know.... Just imagine if he didn't blow his hip to pieces. Such a shame.
