Things I have learned about Mo Farah on this thread: (1) his performance at the EC shows he could have won the CG, thus proving he is a coward who will only run when he is sure he will win; (2) Farah has no chance against someone with a 1500 PR 5 seconds slower and would certainly lose a tactical race to this same person; (3) Farah would face a "good race" against someone who has never run the 5,000 faster than 14:30.
I love letsrun.
I don't think people are saying 2013 Mo Farah in 3:28 shape would lose to Benabbad, but August 2014 Mo Farah might be a different story.
