Let's say if we put all of the fastest runners together.
Who will cross the line first?
My list:
1. Wilson Kipsang
2. Geoffrey Mutai
3. Eluid Kipchoge
4. Emmanuel Mutai
5. Patrick Makau
6. Stephen Kiprotich

Add Kimetto.
kipsang if it's a fast course, G. mutai if there is any terrain challenge.
kimetto and E. mutai are close behind.
Tsegaye Kebede has got to be up there. So consistent over many years. Also Lelisa Desisa after his results last year too. The best 'racer' would probably be Stephen Kiprotich as he's got the Olympic and World titles. The guys I would want to run me a fast time would be G Mutai or Kimetto.
Makau does not belong on that list right now.
Also Abel Kirui, he's a good one.
Kiprotich, G. Mutai and Kipsang all get my vote.
On the other hand, we should wait until Paris (Bekele) and London (Farah) to see if these guys can be challenged by track legends.
Ryan Hall is undefeated in marathons over the last 2 years.
Alan Webb number 1.
I believe London may help distinguish between Kipsang and Mutai, but they get my top 2. Kimetto 3rd, Desisa in there somewhere as well
I don't think that we should write off Stanley Biwott. It's true that he blew up in London last year, but he was hardly alone in that. His run in Paris a couple of years ago was pretty impressive.

Kiprotich never ran a time trial kinda Marathon. Someone who beats the worlds best in the Olympic Marathon can surely run 2:04's if not 2:03 high.
