Here are the people who can say that no one else was faster than them in both the 800m and 5000m :
Couldn't find any 800m PRs for people faster than 12:49
Brahim Lahlafi 1:45.44 12:49.28
Augustine Choge 1:44.86 12:53.66
Said Aouita 1:43.86 12:58.39
Alan Webb 1:43.84 13:10.86
Ayanleh Souleiman 1:43.63 13:17.97
Steve Cram 1:42.88 13:28.58
Couldn't find 5000m PRs for people faster than 1:42.88
You can add:
Haile Gebrselassie 1:49,35 indoors and 12:39,36
How can anyone who is a fan of running not immediately come up with Said Aouita?
Saidi Sief just needed to run an 800 to join the list.

Why do you think he was capable of running sub 1:44? I doubt it very much.

Agreed. So far it's just Said and Webb,
Wrong
What is Lagat's 800 PR? I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding any times for him at that distance.
Is it possible that he's never run one in competition?!?

Along the lines of this thread, I had noticed a similar unique standard - sub 1.46, and top10 NCAA XC. To my recollection, only Lomong and Brian Berryhill have achieved this standard. Did Lassiter do it?
Interesting question. Lassiter's predecessor at Arkansas, Graham Hood, definitely did both. I'm sure there are a few others. Lagat was pretty close: 3rd at 1997 NCAA xc, 800 pb of 1:46.00.
punctuates just how talented Webb was. Incredible individual performances and range. In the right 5k race Webb would/could have run _______ ?
I know it's been said here over and over but how could you not think of Said Aouita when starting this thread?
Olympic Champion and long time world record holder at 5000m and Olympic medalist at 800m.
He is the first person you should ever think about when discussing range on the track.
Sub 1:44 800
Sub 3:30 1500
Sub 3:50 mile
Sub 5:00 2000
Sub 7:30 3000
Sub 13:00 5000
Sub 27:30 10000

he was doped to the eyeballs and a drug pusher
you should know that
we're looking for a clean list here
kiprop would get the best combined 800/5000 times if he went for it

Are you perfectly convinced that Alan Webb was clean?
Remember Tyson Gay being on everyone's clean list?
So was Marion Jones.

Very simple.
1) The moment I read this:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=trackandfield&id=2336602Aouita became dead to me. I believe he was a doper and thus should be ignored.

I think anyone who has managed sub 3:30 and sub 13 could do it.

Because YOU believe he was a doper he should be ignored? The word "believe" also should get some special attention.

At least we can be happy Mr. Procrit has just retired, I suppose.
