Mo marathon career won’t get significantly better. Third class marathoner. First being Kipchoge, second all the others that run sub 2:04 times and low 2:04, he belongs to a third group of above 2:05 extremely overrated runners. Times that don’t challenge the top times in the world in an era that track has already passed from the scene in favor of road marathons.

You mention marathon tiers and then you state that Mo's championship winning career only happened because of the "big guns" that moved to the road. The "big guns" doesn't get any more specific.
So let's take a look at the "big guns" of the roads during Mo's 2011 - 2017 reign.
Are you talking about Patrick Makau? The guy who broke the world record in Berlin in 2011? Let's see his PRs compared to Mo's, since you mention Mo's times are not worthy.
5k Mo - 12:53
5k Makau - no time
10k Mo - 26:46
10k Makau - 27:27
So you must not be talking about Makau. Are you talking about Wilson Kipsang? The guy who broke the world record in 2013? Let's see his PRs compared to Mo's, since you mention Mo's times are not worthy.
5k Mo - 12:53
5k Kipsang - 14:20 (per iaaf website)
Mo - 26:46
10k Kipsang - 28:31 on track (27:45 on roads)
So you must not be talking about Kipsang either. Are you talking about Dennis Kimetto? The guy who broke the world record in 2014? Let's see his PRs compared to Mo's, since you mention Mo's times are not worthy.
5k Mo - 12:53
5k Kimetto - no time
10k Mo - 26:46
10k Kimetto - 28:30
So you must not be talking about Kimetto either. Are you talking about Stephen Kiprotich? The guy who won the 2012 Olympics and 2013 world championships? Let's see his PRs compared to Mo's, since you mention Mo's times are not worthy.
5k Mo - 12:53
5k Kiprotich - 13:23
10k Mo - 26:46
10k Kiprotich - 27:58
So you must not be talking about Kiprotich either. You get the point by now but I can keep going through the list of "big guns" in the marathon from that time frame and it would be the same. You sir, are a haterrrrrrrrrr
