Gordon McKee (USA/SW Texas) - 2.18/8.28
Good call. I used to represent Gordon back in the day. Once we showed up to meet in Sweden and they had cancelled the long job and replaced with a high job. No problem.

Mike Powell is the UC- Irvine school record holder in the HJ at 7-0.75. Which is 2.15. And he does have that gaudy 8.95 in the other jump.
Basically Grant Holloway is overrated?

Pure BS. That 2.15 does not exist as official record.

Interestingly Damian Warner is not as good as Holloway in the LJ AND the HJ, but is better than him at 110H (for now).
I'm sure there's plenty. As a quick search, Aleksandr Menkov has high jumped basically the same @2m15 but is faaaar ahead n the long jump at 8m56. Holloway has really only jumped 8.04 outdoors.
Here's another...
Oleksiy LUKASHEVICH High Jump - 2.20, Long jump - 8.27

Impressive for Powell. The UC Irvine site says that he actually did 2m15 twice. It sounds like he is the HJ/LJ GOAT
How about Carl Lewis? Did he ever high jump?

It looks like in the Moscow college site that Menkov did jump 2m28. I would definitely say Menkov is the HJ/LJ GOAT.

Very impressive. Do you have a link to that site? I assume that it's only in Russian.

It looks like Miguel Pate totally dominated Sebrle in the HJ, LJ and 100m combo (2m18, 8m59 and 10.50)
I don’t know about the other three triples that you mentioned
Pate only jumped 2.08.
2.18 was indoors. Does not count. Fail.
It 100% counts.

...and Powell, with his 8m95, 2m15 and 10.45 dominated them both. Sebrle is very far behind in that triple.

Definitely not, but by the metric proposed in this thread he is not especially unique.

I'm calling BS on this 2m28.
One, what is Moscow College?
He was indeed a great Junior high jumper, but he does not train for this event anymore. Jumping 50cm over his head is world class (he is only 1m78 tall).
His wiki page states that his HJ best is 2m15 and the IAAF site says the same.
I therefore declare Powell as the HJ/LJ GOAT until proven wrong.

Powells 2.15 mark is BS as well

https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/ucirvine.sidearmsports.com/documents/2017/5/26/17_Mens.Outdoor.Records.pdfFor me the greatest all around jumper was Christian Olsson
His athletic feats are incredible and will be unbelievably hard to come close to:
High Jump: 2.28m
Long Jump: 7:71m
Triple Jump: 17:83m
Ridonkuulos!
Like most Americans, these numbers mean nothing to me- are these guys breaking 27 feet in the LJ or 7 ft in the HJ? When the NFL Combine starts posting results for the vertical jump, standing long jump, bench press, etc in metric then perhaps I'll get with the program.
Feet and inches, please wrote:

It's interesting how the Brits brought that measuring unit to you, but then, they moved on with the times and you got stuck in the past. It's funny how the colonies have trouble adapting after the Brits leave.

WTF. Why are you looking at Warner...a third rate decathlete? Roman Sebrle jumped in the 2.15 & 8.15 range, was fast, had endurance, but also had tremendous strength. A true all around elite athlete. Holloway cannot be even considered close to that league.
Warner is certainly not a third rate decathlete, but I do agree that he is not in the same league as Eaton, Sebrle, Dvorak... as a decathlete.
However, if you look at Warner in the eight events (excluding PV and SP), he could be the best that ever was. Unfortunately, his PV and SP are very weak (there has never been a world class decathlete with such poor PBs in the SP and PV). However, he did get a small SP PB over the winter and he did get an indoor PB in the PV, so maybe he can step it up a little in these 2 events.

It's even more funny that the Brits haven't adapted to modern dentistry.
