Do you forget the greatest heavyweight of all time? He won a gold medal to kick start his pro career.
Muhammid Ali, There has never ever been a person so full of himself as Ali and we all loved him for it.
you,ve misjudged this one , bolt is a star , hugely talented and hugely charismatic , everyone loves him , he,s wonderfull for the sport and a breath of fresh air
Count me as not being a member of the set inclusive of "everyone".
Bolt is only as dominant as he is because he's way taller than the other sprinters and takes a few fewer steps. We haven't seen yet what will happen when high school/college track coaches start regularly letting tall guys who have a good kick after getting out of the blocks sprint. I assume that those other guys will run about as fast as Bolt can, but it will probably take another Olympic cycle or two before those guys will have had the proper development.

Sure, there are loads of tall world class sprinters just waiting to be discovered!

Did you not notice the 6'4 Ryan Bailey who ran anchor for the US in the 4x1? Very good up and coming sprinter, but was completely outclassed by Bolt on that final leg and in the 100m Final where he did not even medal despite running a personal best of 9.88. Any other theories professor?
