...and actually Mo has more charisma that Haile or Geb. That should also factor in to GOAT. Interviews well. He has done a decent job popularizing the sport with all the Mobot stuff.
Not saying he's close in actual talent, but he does get points for this.
Completely disagree. First, just because he speaks the best English doesn't automatically make him the most charismatic. I think Haile is way more charismatic even though English isn't his first language. Come on, how can you beat that smile?
Also I hate the mobot thing and feel like he was just trying to be like Bolt.
Maybe he has helped make the sport more popular in the UK, but nowhere else. No one in the US (outside track fans) would recognize him.
