Who is the better 400m runner, Michael Johnson or Jeremy Wariner?

Question

If Michael was in his prime now and he raced jeremy wariner

Answer 1

Michael in his prime ran faster than Jeremy is running now.

He was the best long sprinter in history, with records in the 200 and 400 meters.

Jeremy has the potential to become a better 400 runner, if he continues to improve, but not a better 200 runner.

Answer 2

I like Jeremy as a 400m runner, but in his prime he could never, even on his best day, beat Michael J.

Answer 3

seeing as michael johnson holds the world record over warniner, he was better.  if wariner breaks that record at the olympics this year, he will be better.
