The question is questioned by Tim Layden, Phil Hersh, The Guardian, and every two-bit internet hack like the one you're reading right now.
No. Not a chance in hell. He is fast, very fast, but that's not how Johnson got the record. He was not a great 100 man (he never ran it with any seriousness at all) but his speed endurance was the best of anyone who has ever lived. Until Bolt can run sub-44.5 and hit the 100 all the way to the finish, don't even think about it.
So just watch the freakshow and don't get all worked up about the time.

i guess u feel a little stupid now, don't ya.
No, I'll amend my remarks to say that Bolt can damn near jog a sub-44.50. That much is absolutely clear. His coach has gone on the record saying 42.50.
