The time has dropped but the speed of man hasn't changed. It sounds impossible but it's right. I will find the guy talking about it now. It's a good watch and an eye opener.

Evolution takes hundreds of thousands of years even millions of years.. Evolution won't happen in 40 years or 100 years. It's not about evolution though it's about getting the most out of your body. Sports science and nutrition is better than it's ever been but you're right in a sense. The likes of Jesse Owens and other old greats would be competing at the top today with modern methods, you're born with that quality. Let's not also forget sports equipment has improved just as much, Owens' PB would be much quicker on a modern running track using modern spikes.

Look at the industrial reveloution ' then the space race ect A peak then a trough . We might of even peaked naturally ? Who knows. But one things for sure sportsmen in general over the last 20 years or so have progressed . For you to say sportsmen were running as fast 100 years ago is balmy Am I thick.

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 As an amateur looking in, Tyson Fury seems to be quite clever - yes he's tall and quite ungainly but, he makes that work for him. From what I've seen, his punch is weak for his size (I'd love to see him deliver something devastating but he doesn't/can't) so, I think he does his homework and stops everyone from fighting their own fight. ............ he's an awkward fighter with size and a half decent chin on his side and, considering the devision at the moment, I think that's enough. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
