I think Hocker is way too hyped on this board. I say he won't run 3:27 nor place 3rd (or better).
I really don’t get the logic on this site. Kerr PR is 3:29 (which is outdated now, but people who say he is a 3:26 man need help), Hocker hasn’t broken 3:30, correct? High 3:29? And he’ll just drop down to 3:27? You know there’s a reason his PR is what it is, right? Noah Lyles is now a 9.79 runner, but lots of people think because he runs 9.79, he can run a 9.69. I think Hocker can break the American record AS LONG AS JAKOB PULLS HIM TOWARDS IT. But even then, that might be a 3:28.9.

Well I think one reason why Hocker hasn’t broken 3:30 is because he has never been on Ingebrigsten Diamond league 1500m PR train. Everyone who has sub 3:30 PR have done it with Ingebrigsten in the race.

Disagree, I think Hocker is underrated on this board. There were several people still thinking making the final was in question for Hocker leading into Paris. The Letsrun pod with Centro after the semis was the first time I've seen the BroJos say that Hocker is better than Nuguse.

Hocker seems to be getting better and sharper as the final comes into view. Kessler too. Hocker looked easy in the semifinal. I’m not even sure the winning time will be 3:27.xx, though it might be. I don’t know what Hocker is capable of, but definitely well under 3:30 and I wouldn’t want him anywhere near me with 300m to go.

Well I think one reason why Hocker hasn’t broken 3:30 is because he has never been on Ingebrigsten Diamond league 1500m PR train. Everyone who has sub 3:30 PR have done it with Ingebrigsten in the race.
No exactly true. Tokyo Olympics 1500m, Budapest 1500m, 2023 and 2024 Pre Miles. He had opportunities to hang with him in all those fast races and couldn’t.

Not gonna count Tokyo as he was too young and not as quite developed. It would be very suspicious if he actually jumped from a 3:58 miler to a 3:29 1500m runner in one year. And I specifically said 1500m Diamond leagues with Jakob in it. Not championships races or one mile races.

Hocker is not better than Nuguse. There is a zero percent chance Hocker will run 3:27 today and i would say a 10% chance he runs 3:27 in his lifetime.

I could argue that Jakob was young and not as developed too. Now he’s 2 seconds faster in the 1500.
I respectfully think the DL vs Championship argument is moot for Hocker since he never takes the lead in those races, so essentially has the same opportunity and scenario to draft and pace off his competitors.
If he hangs with Jakob and Kerr for up to 1300-1400, I’ll hang my hat off to him. But to say he hasn’t had the chance to do it (and recently) isn’t true.
