What Deon did was extremely impressive but the fact of the matter is he was an average major leaguer at best.

Hall of Fame in baseball with a .250 lifetime average and never batting .300 in a season.

I would imagine Bo is the better athlete because he had SPEED + POWER.

the question is who is the better athlete, and in terms of raw talent/physical ability/freakish physical specimen then the answer is bo jackson easily.

who actually accomplished more? it would be deion sanders, as he is one of the greatest defensive backs of all time. if an all time list of greatest football players was compiled, deion would easily be higher than bo.

Deon was better at football, Bo was better at baseball.

Bo and its not even close. Deion couldn't even tackle and would let ball carriers get by him or even with him so he could force them out of bounds.

Bo was arguably better at both. He was definitely better at baseball.

Bo also has the highest yards per carry of any RB with 500+ carries since the merger.

The sad thing about Bo is the what if surrounding his freak injury. He could have gone down as the greatest athlete in history, hands down.

I think Charlie Ward was a better two way athlete than Bo, seriously

Had a pretty decent NBA career and was the best CFB in his era

Charlie Ward didn't play in the NFL and was average in the NBA.

Dave Winfield was drafted by all three major sports, but he chose to only play baseball.

With the Charlie Ward comment, you have to be trolling. But as to the question, I will go with Bo. Definitely not hating on Deion as loved watching him play.
