Because no one has ever heard of him.
I love this board, you beat me to it. What has this Paul character ever accomplished that leads you to believe he's the greatest marathoner of all time?
because his name resembles Paula R., the greatest female marathoner of all time. No seriously, she has run 2:15, won a world championship, and beaten the second greatest of all time. Women of yesteryear (rosa or whatever) are just not comparable with today's women because they did not have as much competition.
Oh, I wanted to talk about Paul T. He also has a marathon WR, you know.
Now I'll be serious...DO people have a hard time considering Paula the best (female)marathoner ever? I don't, she's got just as good a resume as anybody else-especailly considering her result from this past weekend.
