I think people are underestimating Pre. Off the top of my head I can think of two arenas in which Pre would easily defeat Geb.
1. Drinking contests
2. Mustache growing
I would like to see them in a car race, but I think Pre would DNF.

In descending order of greatness:
Ditka
Pre
God
Payton
da Bears (except for Ditka and Payton)
Rexing
Geb
Brian Boitano
Injured Reserve
Steve Prefontaine - Out (car)
you must be a f'ing retard..dude..why do we need to convince you that geb has done more than tergat..tergat is great..but you need to quit blowing his balls..
Pre falls into the 'coulda shoulda woulda' category. Pre didn't live long enough. They say Pre is only known about in western Oregon, whereever the hell that is ;-)
El G, Geb, Dibaba, Defar, Tergat,etc. have won many olympic, wc medals, etc. are know all over the world and are celebrities everywhere.
Who was better Pre or Dave Moorcroft??? Hmmmm

How is Geb overrated? How many times has he set a WR, 23? 24? I'm not sure, I might have lost count. That, plus Geb's 2 OG golds, WJC gold, 4 WC golds, 2 WC silvers, and a WC bronze just for the hell of it.
And Tergat, in comparison, has got...2 OG silvers (both behind Geb), 2 WC silvers (ditto), and a WC bronze.
To add to that he has set one (1) WR in his career. Compare that to the 20+ that Geb has set and re-set.
I don't want to feel like I'm trashin Tergat, cuz he's one of the greatest runners ever, and I really respect him. But...Geb is in a class of his own.
PS who dared mention Pre's name in the same breath as Geb's? That's like comparing Adam Goucher to Kenenisa Bekele...I mean, CAMMAN....
Dude... I've never been beat by Geb or Tergat in a road race.

This'n here's a POD if I've ever seen one....
No...
1)First off but definately not most importantly, Pre is faster.
2)Pre is way more of a sex god I mean come on Pre has hooked up with how many women in his life I mean come on, besides Im sure a bunch of guys would want to hook up with him too.
3)Does Geb have his own line of clothing in a huge running company???? Dont think so.
4)And finally have you ever seen pre's moustache?
That it's

6-2 in favor of Geb. Now GTFO. Geb is also 2-2 against Tergat in XC, where Tergat supposedly "owned" him, and a slightly impressive 14-0 on the track. Tergat is one of the best runners of all time, but he and Geb, as a wise man once said, "it ain't the same ballpark, it ain't the same league, hell that ain't even the same sport!"

Pre was the best America had at the time and definately had the charisma and competitive fire to create a cult of personalilty around himself. A true champion and a great inspiration, but Geb dominates on a world level. Pre wasn't even close to doing that.
OP, you are an ass.
So are you.
And my dad can beat up your dad.

you can't be serious. Pre held every American record from 2k-10k. Did Geb ever do that?
I rest my case
Solid points!
