What would it take to get Bob Hayes into the Hall of Fame. I remember seeing him play. This is an injustice and needs to be corrected because of what he's contributed to this sports. Don't let petty people prevent this type of crime and prevent one of this sports great athlete from getting the respect he has earned

#5 — July 24, 2005 @ 21:57PM — carmen A question what former cowboy player did tom landry consider another bob hays. would appreciate a response. probably Herschel Walker, he was also a college sprinter, and had one reported 40 time of 4.25, but as always the validity is questionable. Still, he had to be the fastest Cowboy since Hayes.

funny how widespread this 40 is. I ran track for years. Don't remember a 40 except for football. Prolly hand timed times anyway. Doubtfull is electronic timer or coordinated with starting gun like when I ran track 20+ years ago. Of course I ran a 40 ten years after high school and was out of shape and apparantly just under 5. I would like to see a dressed 40 yard dash. Would seperate the mice from football players.

10.05 may still be a world record on a cinder track.

Whatever is true or not true about Bob Hayes he was one of the absolute best sprinters having a top speed of approx 27mph. Olympic gold speaks volumes in 1964.

Some points to consider. Bob only ever lost 2 sprint races in his career, a feat unmatched by any other sprinter. The first he was ill and the second was a judges error. He recorded a flying 8.6 for 100 metres on the final leg of the 1964 Olympic relay which is the fastest on record. Furthermore, he retired at 21 before he reached his peak. He also won the Olympics by the greatest margin on record.

Anything anyone says on here about running a sub 4 sec. 40 is total bull...The world's fastest man cannot even run an electronically timed sub 4sec.
