So basically, Sabbakhan comfortably beat a guy who isn't even a track star, which makes this video going viral just look stupid.<br />It's like me playing tennis against Serena Williams. Of course she would probably beat me. She's a trained tennis star, but can she beat the men? That was answered years ago and the answer is NO. There was a German guy who was ranked 203rd and he beat BOTH Serena Williams and Venus Williams back-to-back at the 1998 Australian Open.
