I don’t see anyone beating Brazier! He’s so strong and his 400m speed is faster than Giles (please prove me wrong if I am)
What does his 400m speed have to do with anything?
Pretty sure Emmanuel Korir is the fastest 800m over 1 lap I've heard of since Juantorena (44.21) and that didn't help him even make the final in Doha (even against Brazier in the semi...)

Not sure if I get the logic. I think Brazier can beat Giles because he's a more complete 800m runner. Now Bryce Hoppel on the other hand....
