Mo is a great tactical racer, but lets's face it, he can't come close to Bekele. Mo had his dominance when the level of competition was not the very best.

[@entertainmentjunkies9926]

The absolute TRUTH

[@Vedioviswritingservice]

Had he switched coaches at this point of his career? A tale of two runners. A back ender who was close to giving up racing and then a world champion. Alberto's special sauce worked wonders.

[@davd1986]

He also had the benefit of doping via Alberto Salazar. He couldn't do squat before Salazar started doping him and Galen Rupp.

Bekele is the best long distance runner ever by far. WR 10k and 5k, 11 times World Champion in corss country, 3 olimpic gold medals without being the Nike Oregon Project (money and ads). In marathon, well he's at 2" from Kipchoge but I would bet on him should they finally clash, one day. The under 2 hours records is not official for very good reasons. The only prob with Bekele is that he is shy and can't speak a good english, but he's is at next level, compared to the others.
