Deion was good at a few elements of each sport he played, Bo had it all

explain.. im not trying to argue, everyone has opinion. Just looking for reasoning

I probably shouldn't add my 2 cents, but Bo was a natural ath. He never really practiced, never used PED's (his body was already pure muscle), and he was still the most dominated athlete on the field.

of course you have bias! and i know bo was a stud! And amazing athlete, just wondering what makes him more "well rounded athlete" than deion!

quote:

---

Why him over deion sanders for most welll rounded athlete?

---

Cause Bo ran his arse over in college.

Bo is the fricking man.

Are we talking about Welter on the MSB?

Deion's accomplishments > Bo's

If you don't consider accomplishments when talking about a well-rounded athlete, then it's a toss up.

IMO Bo was a better athlete. He just had an insane combination of speed, strength, and skill.

Deion probably had the better career b/c Bo's got cut short by injury.

Both had pretty similar baseball stats, give or take( Bo had more RBI's,HR, and a better ops while Deion had a better walk to strike out ration, more triples/doubles, and a better BA ). All in all though they are very comparable as far as individual success in baseball. Its harder to compare the two in football because they played different positions and there was also a bigger diffrence in length of career (BO played 4 years in the NFL and 8 in MLB, deion had 14 in the NFL and 9 in MLB). It is hard to look at the two and declare one the better athlete,the hip injury doesnt help either(who knows how what he could have done in the NFL/ how much it held him back in baseball). With all of thatt being said you have to go with Deion. Your comparing a great running back to arguably the best corner of all time.
