    edit: It appears I have done the same as blocky.

    Anyway Joe Calzaghe is a better build for a sprinter than Lacy. Hence he has done it in 11 seconds.

    What are you talking about? Do you think a sprinter has to be extremely tall?

    Maurice Greene is probably the best sprinter of all time and is 5'10. Tyson Gay is also 5'10 to name a couple.

    You will find tons of sprinters that have as ripped muscular and chiseled body upperbodies as Lacy.

    Look at how thick Lacy's body is from the side.

    Maurice Green has a pretty big upper body. Both he and Lacy are about the same height and weight, and both have muscular builds

    He's not huge compared to Asafa and Greene. Asafa's upperbody is very muscular and ripped, unfortunately I couldn't find any half naked pics of him.:lol:

    You need to stop. If you don't think Shawn Crawford is muscular wise similar to Lacy then you really need glasses. I'm a big fan of Track & field (especially sprint) and believe me when I say that Lacy does have a body that looks like a 100m sprinter.:deal

    BTW Shawn Crawford is 5'10 or 5'11

    You're forgetting something too, 175lbs. is Green's weight when he's competing. You have no idea what his weight is when he's not training for a race. Here's another thing. I only entered this argument because you said that there isn't a sprinter out there that competes at a high level that is as short as Lacy. Green is the same height and about the same weight as Lacy and he's an Olympic gold medalist

    If I didn't know who this was and if he didn't wear his boxing gloves then I would say he's probably a sprinter:

    It doesn't matter if you think Lacy is bulkier than Crawford, the point is: Lacy is build more like a 100m sprinter.

    Build of a body doesn't mean a person doesnt mean their stamina, agilty are lowered. There is no proof of that. You cannot measure someone's stamina because of how muscular or non muscular they are. A person has to do endurance training in order to have good endurance. Some people naturally have better endurance than others, but stamina training still is essential for anyone who competes in a sport that requires endurance.

    So you are saying that Mike Tyson, while looking like a natural body builder at 19 yrs old had affected his agility or endurance? His fights that went 12 rounds didn't appear to show that...nor did his quick foot work and ability to dodge punches and throw fast combinations at various angles.

    Remember - you cant judge a book by its cover.

    Lacy is undoubtedly stronger and even in the last round. Joe used his strength against him though.

    LOL at the Lacy pictures. He is SO BIG! I'd bet money he has bigger arms than some heavyweights.
