You're getting downvoted but you're right. Jakob could run 3:25 this summer and I still don't see how he runs away from a guy with 7:23 strength who has the best kick in the world.

By running 3:25 with an extended 700m kick. Jakob has 7:17 strength after all.

The people who downvote are either delusional or emotional.

We've never seen Hocker have both 7:23 strength and the best kick in the world in the same race

Hocker has never had a deadly kick above the mile. His 3k strength will help his mile kick.
Let's be real here, you're talking about the last 2 Olympic gold medalists in the 1500m. Both Jakob and Hocker continue to impress but Jakob does it in a WR/Diamond League champion kind of way vs. Hocker in a "good job you tried hard" kind of way. All things equal I will lean towards the person who races and wins more which is Jakob vs. Hocker as we think about LA Olympics but odds wouldn't be that different. It will not surprise me at all if Hocker wins again but it would also not surprise me if JI wins, Kerr wins, Goose wins or anyone else wins. 1500m is freaking hard, good money to be made there gambling.
Hocker needs to prove he's not a one race wonder after being paced for 1400 meters before being the favorite. Right now the Goose is a bigger favorite than Hocker.

Don’t get this one at all. Hocker beat him in the last 2 unpaced races and just ran a historically fast 3000( indoor or out).

I'm not sure him getting out-sprinted by a 3:34 1500m man is the evidence you want to use for his prowess in non paced races.

How do you that wasn’t case when he ran in the Olympics?

We are going on year 4 of this BS, every year Jakob runs a stupid fast time. ""OMG NO ONE CAN POSSIBLY BEAT JAKOB THIS YEAR, HE'S JUST TOO FAST" Then someone else flies by him in the last 100 of the only race that matters.
Keep talking Jakob up, I want the underdogs odds to be high. Got Hocker at +1400 at the Olympics. Bookies don't know jack about how to set track odds, they think time trials are the only thing that matters.
