Of course he isn't!
But I caught a lot of flak for saying that Grant Fisher hadn't accomplished much in the 2-mile, pointing out that I think Hunter is as good a talent.
Rojo said it was one of the worst posts he had ever read! He said he wished he could vote it down!
Grant, you're still a monster, but I am going to bask in a little bit of glory of my superior track and field perspective for a couple more hours.

Well done on giving Hunter his due.However, my complaint (and Rojo's) with your post was that you claimed that Fisher didn't "stand out". Even after this loss, that assertion is laughable.
Interestingly, I have also seen multiple posts by you where you agree that Fisher is top 10 all-time.
Really, I don't think that anyone disagrees with you on anything other than your take on what it means to "stand out".
I would argue that being in the top 10 A-T makes you a stand out. Just my two cents.
Wait, so if Grant ran 1.2 seconds faster today and won you wouldn't have started this thread? Wow. What. A. Douchebag.

A few tenths can make a difference. If Bernard Lagat had run .35 faster in Brussels and .12 faster in Athens he'd have a good claim to be the GOAT miler.

Right. But if Lagat had the 3rd fastest 800m in history with multiple world titles, while also winning the 5000m the last 2 years, it would be completely idiotic to act like those fractions of a second lower his status in any meaningful way.
