On sports talk radio this morning they mentioned 34 yrs ago today Bo Jackson cracked back over his head.

Then the debate came who is better athlete Bo Jackson vs Prime. What say you?

Prime wasn’t a great athlete

How is this even a discussion?

Prime was quick, fast and agile, but Bo was a freak. He had all that plus freak size and power.

Bo Jackson vs Herschel Walker would have been a better thread.

Herschel walker was a better football palyer than both, better track star than both, was a 7th degree black belt, olympic bobsledder, and undefeeated professional fighter.

But to keep this thread on topic, I'd probably say Bo.

Lawrence Taylor was the most impressive athlete I've probably ever seen on tape, but he was also fueled by cocaine and I think pure hatred of humanity.

He fought really really really horrible fighters though.. and he had multiple personalities so that's kind of cheating.

Bo stiff arms Prime <-- that video settles the debate ; BO !

Sanders was a great shutdown corner, but was afraid to get physical and tackle the ball carrier.

Anytime you ask who's a better athlete it depends on the parameters measured.

Speed is probably equal. Bo is obviously more powerful and we know he has great hand eye coordination but Prime likely wins when it comes to lateral movement and body control. Who can run the faster 10k? Probably a sloth.
