I would say Mo Farah. Not even close imo.
Why? Back up your case? I have made mine. he has beat all time cart horses to win 6 golds. Who cares? All them medals he's won So as i said earlier if me, barry neville, da bookie and ali mallu rock up for the 100m 5 tiems in a row and i win 5 times a row in a shit time. I am the greatest 100m runner ever? Talk me through it? If it was at the Olympics and/or World Championships |

Please take this seriously because i can't have mo on my mind as even in the top 5 all time uk athletes. It is a sport against the clock and tape measure. Not how many golds you win. They get paid huge sums ( more than quorn pay) to break world records. Why doesn't mo go for them other than the fact he couldn't possibly get close to brekaing a world record? The rewards have never been higher to break them. We all know why 'times don't matter' because mo can't get anywhere near them all time.
It is amazing how people still buy into the bbc as being impartial. This fred clearly shows it. If the bbc don't state the facts then it must be right! wp cram and foster.

You don't have to have him on your mind, believe it or not, we are allowed to have a difference of opinion. If I tell you black forrest gateaux is the best dessert of all time will that give you sleepless nights too? But in actual reply to that, the longer distance races are way more tactical than you are giving them credit for. When someone chooses to leg it and when they choose to conserve their energy is a big part of it. |

Foster still thinks viren wasnt a cheat lol. Hes skewed by it being his event, his sport. Top5 in athletics for me are:- Edwards Coe Christie Rutherford steve jones |

Why doesn't he take the huge financial rewards on offer to break world records if he can? When he is happy to take the quorn money? All these times were done outside of championships with huge financial incentives. most of the legends wanted to be the best ever anyway. Mo constantly talks about making huge sacrifices from his family so why wouldn't he want to cash in on the golden league season by breaking world records to justify the sacrifices he makes? Makes no sense to me unless, like me, he knows he can't lace the spikes of the previous all time greats and he knows by going for them it will expose him to quorn that he is an all time jobber rather than the 'greatest sportsman in history' the bbc sells us. |

I know understand why Greg is so fucked off about his image in current UK athletes. Makes more sense. He is as good as mo all time but gets no credit even with the grand slam. Greg knows mo is a jobber like he is but he wants the same financial pay day. You cant blame him

Bit unfair. Mo wins in the current field no matter what they do (yeah they arent great) but rutherford loses if the yank or a few other jump well. Been a dirth of talent in 10k since the kenyans realised it was pointless compared to big city marathons cash. |

So what you are saying is Mo is beating nothing and isn't anywhere near the greatest ever in his own event never mind the greatest GB sportsman in history. There has been a huge lack of talent in the long jump for 20 years in case you missed it. |
