To add when JI used to boast he WILL definitely hold every distance WR of the modern era, we should have known better that he is, was or is going to be dirty. So you are right. It may very well be Josh is the only clean stud.
He never boasted. He said it was his goal to get every WR.
That's called boasting, since it is about as realistic as him being the first person to Mars.
What happens in the future is anyone's guess but I wouldn't count on Ingebrigtsen being able to reverse the trend, that other runners now - like Kerr - have his measure over his main distance.
Are you being intentionally dense? The thread is about Josh Kerr’s quotes about wanting to accomplish something that involves the past, present and future: Being the best 1500 runner of his era. Right now he trails Jakob. He has to do more in the future and that’s where the challenge lies. Of course we don’t know what will happen.
I might suggest the same about you being intentionally dense. 2029 means nothing in 2025. But so far Kerr doesn't "trail" Jakob - he has reversed their positions by beating him 3 times in succession in the biggest races. Sure, he wants to do even better career-wise but he has his foot on Ingebrigtsen's throat when they compete in global championships.
Who said anything about him being an 800 specialist? It's his main event along with the 1500, and the fact that he can't run faster than Europes second fastest half marathon runner is laughable when he wants to talk trash about other people who don't run the event.
He was talking about Ingebrigtsen competing over 800, as grand slam track provides. If you don't think that would be embarrassing for him you are in dream land.
In the meantime, Kerr is apparently faster over a HM - not his "best" distance, as Jakob says it is for him.
Yes, Kerr has to talk trash to people who don't run the event to make himself look good in it, because he's horrible at it compared to actually good 800 runners.

Like a certain distance runner when he runs his "best" distance, the HM?

You are pathetic. A 70+ year old man obsessing over a 24 year old man.
Special allowance in what? Also I was right in pointing out that you could have linked the source which I think someone did. People had not seen it and are not going to take your word for it.

I have yet to see the actual quotes, anyone have access to the article?

The fact is he does. The ultimate prize in the sport is Olympic gold, and Kerr doesn’t have it though he does have a silver and a bronze. Next up are world medals and while Kerr has a world title, Jakob has 2 silvers. Next you might go times where Jakob has Kerr dominated. Regional/DL victories? Edge Jakob. You’ve drawn a conveniently short window with a tiny focus. Eras are wider and legacies consist of multiple competitions. Kerr acknowledges it, and admits he needs more golds and fast times to make the claim.

Stark facts: he regularly beats Ingebrigtsen now in in global championship finals. If this was boxing there would be no doubt who is the champion.

Armstronglivs is right. Ingebrigtsen gets beaten regularly when it matters most. He wins no titles over his main distance, and only wins sit and kick titles over his secondary distance. He will never be the GOAT of either event. He should take up racewalking, he should be decent at that based on his walking during his HM.
The real problems for guys like you are the facts that Jakob has two Oly Golds and that Hocker literally kicked Kerr in the crotch in Paris by winning Gold over the big-mouthed POM.

Hocker won gold over the even bigger mouthed Norwegian loser.

The loser is the by far most succesfull track distance runner of the last 10+ years (maybe with Cheptegei).
