According to the morons on letsrun, he's clearly running against nobodies. Quite ironic that they dismiss Mo's Gold's because he doesn't have a super fast time and yet dismiss his achievements of beating guys who have run super fast times.
If Mo is average, those guys should be able to destroy Mo. Remember, especially the 5k guys, they have raced Mo several times now and they still can't beat him. 6 straight golds and a possible 7th next week.
Keep hating trolls
Weak attempt at a strawman: Nobody said Mo was average, rather some people are asserting that he is not in the conversation for GOAT. I agree.
