    no way.

    joe only had handspeed because he knew he had to make up for lack of accuracy, he had nothing to lose by throwing light. On the other hand he also had the endless amazing stamina that allowed him to keep it up.

    in contrast, roy threw faster but with accuracy AND with power.

    The difference couldnt be more pronounced.

    Clazaghe speed was possible because he is not an Ethnic Brit, he comes from a warm Island situated between Africa & Europe.

    Scientific studies on Ethnic Sardinians show them to be an isolated group with direct African Y-DNA lineages still surviving in a big % of modern Sardinians & a sizeable autosomal genetic substratum that connects to the Dark continent.

    Very intelligent observation Forza. The privilege of having fast twitch muscle is a 100% diagnostic marker of skipping the ICE AGE.
