The 'Whos more studly' thread : MOTTRAM V HALL

the difference is that Mottram is such a star that he can sleep with whoever he wants any night of the week

Ritz has run one time that ranks him as one of the best in the world. Mottram has run many. He has several sub 13 times, a world champs bronze, and a solid win over bekele to his credit, not to mention very respectable prs in the 1500, mile, and 3k. Ritz is going to have to do a lot more before he ranks ahead of Mottram.

"Who's"

I don't care who is the most studly. The two are both incredible talents. Yes Craig has accomplished more and been around longer than Ryan on the world scene; however, all that could change this year.

Ryan personal best before 2007 could/SHOULD drop drastically after his incredible 59:43 half marathon. While I think Craig MAYBE still faster than Ryan in the 5000m this upcoming 2007 season, I do think with Ryan new fitness he would cause Craig to lose his lunch in a 10000m run.

I assume 'Julius' that you are talking about hall not Ritz and 'SIr Lance-alot' I think the original poster may have been referring to a similar type of competition between athletes whereby they are all at a high level but each has his own strength to bring to the battle ground. A 10,000m between the likes of Webb, Ritz, Mottram, Hall, Tegenkamp would be epic and would certainly form some huge rivalries. Maybe if we ask enough the race will actually happen, then again like the 1999 world champs 1500m video-it may not.

my money AT THE MOMENT would have to be on Hall. Who would predict that Mottram could go out tomorrow, on an overcast 50 degree houston course and run faster than 59.43? I hope no one. That wouldn't be common sense. Mottram is good but he isn't in sub hour type shape year round. Right now, as in TODAY, Hall would beat Mottram.

to the dude who said Sarah is totally average, are you telling me you wouldnt want her? She is smokin. Perhaps your standards are too high.

i dont think shes smoking. come to europe. youll understand.

What like eastern europe? No thank you.

Back to the original question. Mottram woudn't beat Hall at the half distance these days, nor the marathon. Mottram has been focusing a lot more on the shorter distances, especially at this time of the year. Rhumour has it he will be running the Milrose mile against lagat. Anything, 10,000 or less he would kill Hall in my opinion. Mottram would go low 27 high 26, Hall im not so sure about, maybe 27.10's-20's.

how about everyone stop speculating what hall CAN run in 07 and just wait and see what he DOES run in 07.

Wrong. Mottram gets no play. That's because he's got that ridiculous mullet growing out of the back of his head like a peacock giving birth.

it's o.k to speculate...that's what we do best...

Sara Hall as well as most other distance runner girls are cute...If you like girls who have not or rather look like they haven't hit puberty yet! Geeze, I know most of you are HS kids but learn what breasts are!

straight studly: mottram is much better looking than hall…is that even a question?

performance-wise…why are we comparing them, because they are white? who wins in a 400m, wariner or webb. dude, webb would own him in the mile though…

point is, they are not running remotely similar events. mottram is not training for half marathons, and why should he be. if hall focuses on the 5k and down, mottram whoops his ass. if mottram were to focus on the longer distances, at some point hall might be able to get him, but in a head-to-head, i like craig nine out of ten.

Well, what do you think 12.55 V 59.43? Im still leaning toward Mottram, due to his consistancy and equally insane times. But Hall totaly shocked me today. I would never have guessed he was even capable of such insanly dominant racing.

thats funny ... when i plug 59:43 into the Mcmillan calculator, the equal 5K is ... 12:55 ...

Listen guys, there is a reason why Mottram wins this contest. Hall's run the other day was amazing, but Buster has the mullet. You guys are denying the mullet. I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet. This site is going down the drain. A few years ago someone would have said mullet on the first page even though at the time he did not have the mullet but they would have forseen that in the past. MULLET! MULLET! MULLET!

Hall's more studly

I like where this thread is going?

Why compare these athletes? I thought this was a running forum. They are comparatively the same level in thier event and yes, both are white. Im tired as seeing mottram only racing africans.

Bekele, Geb, and Choge are far superior.
