which athlete were you more impressed with and why?

Bo Jackson. Better all around athlete in my book.

Bo Jackson without a doubt.

Bo Jackson no question. Every bit as fast as Deion but he was also JACKED. Theres no telling what his career would have been had he not had the hip problem/problems. He was also a better baseball player. Hell had he not suffered the injuries we might be referring to Bo Jackson being the greatest athlete EVER right now.

However, who had the better career? Deion is the obvious answer.

I can dig that

He was a better player in both sports. Deion was fast but Jackson could pretty much match him. Murder pretty much said what I would say

As has been stated. + I've always been a Raiders fan (a bit biased for no reason I know). I got to see Bo play in LA.

Nothing I can put stats to as Bo's carrer was cut short by injury. I just feel he was a better all around player, both in baseball and (especially) football.

Bo, not even close to be honest.

Bo was significantly better at baseball than Deion. Bo was an all-star caliber player. Deion was like a lifetime .230 hitter, good in the outfield though.

Deion was a great cover corner, one of the best of this era, but a complete pussy when it came to making tackles.

Lets ask Bosworth if Bo was afraid of contact.

I agree on the hip injury keeping Bo Jackson from being talked about as one of the best athletes of our generation. Had he not had the hip injury, I think he would be considered one of the 5 best athletes of our generation. Maybe #2 behind Jordan.

He was better at marketing/advertising/endorsements than Deion too.
