What are you talking about, everyone here is 6'3", 245 lbs and runs a 4.2 40. You should know this by now.

Here's an excerpt from a 2003 article that gives some stats on Cannon. Cannot vouch for their accuracy.

quote:

He was a magnificent athlete, a 6-foot-1, 225-pounder who ran 100 yards in 9.4 seconds, threw the shot-put 54 feet and bench-pressed 435 pounds.

To be accurate it might help to know the weight of shot put.

True all though running with the shot at any weight tends to take away from your top end speed. Billy was a hell of an athlete.

People seem to be confusing "meters" and "yards"

Whos confusing meters and yds. 109 meters per 100 yds. U.S ran yds until 1980. All stats are yds till then
