Obviously anyone who hasn't played in a West Ham win at Anfield is ruled out immediately.
Oi Farah! No!

Greatest ever is ridiculous idea. Seems like a decent man, but:
1. He is Somalian. Simple. One of "those people" we now have time for?
2. Spends most of his life outside the UK
3. I'd rather vote for Julian Dicks. And that's pushing it!

I agree medals are important but when you are talking of the greatest ever sportsman if you are a runner to be considered surely you have to be faster or close to your peers
As I said earlier his best times are way down the list all time and some way off in actual times

I do not think they matter as much, ask Paula Radcliffe if she would rather have the record or the title, in fact every single athlete would laugh at the question.
I think because the 5.000 and 10.000 are such difficult events the tactics come into it much more than most other races .
He broke the two mile world record by a second so he has broken one.

Medals count for more than records.
Everyone knows that.
Ask any athlete would he rather have one world record or one Olympic/World medal and see what answer you get.

Surely records count as a comparison to past and present, like I said before his times are well below world record standard
He is beating a weak field.........Larry Holmes held the championship for a record length of time.....is he one of the greatest boxers? NO

He needs a world record or two and to retain his Olympic titles to be considered the best.
He's right up there though, even if he retires today.

Seb Coe
2 olympic golds at 1500 metres in 1980 and 84 and one european gold medal in 1986 and a few world records.
Mo Farah
2 Olympic golds in 2012 at 5000. and 10.000, 5 World championship Gold medals 5 European Gold medals.
No competition you ask any athlete and they will tell you records can be broken but a Gold medal hangs eternal.

I take your point Hairy, Mo Farah is a great athlete, no question about that at all but Coe's amazing 800m world record on top of his medals just about sneaks it.

If Farah wins the Marathon - London or Olympics - then I'd put him in the elite list of your Wiggins/Redgraves/Comptons
