Sorry Albert , i know more about Einstein than i do about athletics , so wouldn't have a clue as i've only ever heard of two 
My favourite in the event was Billy Konchellah who won two World Championships, but his reputation was completely tarnished by his subsequent criminal record.
like asking what would 123 have been in a 3m chase from horses from last 30 yrs..impossible to quantify.
the obvious winner in rudisha since he's ran the quickest time.

Steve Ovett has to be included, he beat Seb in 1980
No, Doctor Thomas Wessinghage ?
(Used to amuse me as a kid and he was more of a 1500m runner)

"After the Olympics, Ereng returned home to Kenya to a hero's welcome, the highlight of which was receiving, in a time-honoured tradition, his gold medal was once more presented to him during evening assembly at his former school, Starehe, by the late Dr. Geoffrey William Griffin."

peter snell,he smoked 40 cigs a day ,so he had to be the best.imagine if he had never smoked.
I don’t feel quite so thick now having only heard of Coe. Thanks, Hayden. 
Peter Elliot was pretty good at 800m and Cram had his moments, I know many of the names of the 80s but could not name 1 single 800m runner from last 20 years. Athletics has shown Horse Racing what a real decline looks like.

You might have an argument for Moscow but NOT LA Joaquim Cruz didn't have longevity but was clear Top Dog in 84.
Johnny Gray leads at the bell and finishes like One Man in the Gold Cup
