I think the word we're looking for is "hyperbole."

Why not have a middle distnce runner vs. a sprinter. Seb Coe vs. Mo Greene, both in their primes.
I think Greene would win easily. He'd win both jumps (including the LJ by a LOT: there are very few elite 100m guys can't manage a good, if not world-class, LJ), and he'd certainly outhrow Coe in the SP, Disc, and Javelin (sprinters have much more upper-body muscle mass and are generally more explosive). That leaves the PV (wash, neither scores), the 1500 (hmm, I wonder...), the 100 (ditto), the 110H (Mo easily), and the 400. The 400 would be interesting. I think Coe might have a shot. Did Greene ever try long sprints?
Whatever happened in the 400, though, Greene would easily beat Coe. Bottom line: sprinters, jumpers, and hurdlers make the best decathletes.
Tangent: if you had to pick a single event as a screening test to predict decathlon success, what would you choose? I'm thinking the 400 hurdles if the athletes have hurdling experience and if not then the 400 or the LJ.
