In my opinion, potentially, at the end of his career Nick Willis of NZL will have the greatest versatility of ANY athlete. His credentials will approach the following:
800m-1.44 Low
1500m-3.28
mile-3.46
3000m-7.30
5000m-12.50
10000m-27.10
Marathon-2.08
credentials are fine, but position on the all-time lists, number of WRs, Olympic golds and No.1 rankings are privilege of all-time greats. Willis is excellent athlete, but no way near of GOATs.
I agree you can't go only by comparing pbs from different eras, but then again, few athletes have been up against a murderers row of dopers, and lost medals and Olympic Golds to them, like Nick Willis has.
