Who you got?

Herschel was great, but Bo was the overall better athelete. Lettered in three sports at Auburn, I'm not even sure how people can justify arguing otherwise.

How long will this argument go on? I understand they were both great athletes but its time to put it to rest.

Why, because he played baseball too?

Herschel was not only the better football player, but he also beat Carl Lewis in a race and was a world class sprinter, won an olympic medal for bobsledding, is a 7th degree black belt in tae kwon do, and is undefeated in MMA.

There simply will never be another Herschel Walker. And btw, the dude is still in peak physical shape and I'm pretty sure could beat Bo's arse.

It's like picking between an OT 10 blonde and an OT 10 brunette. Awesome, different, I'd take either one.

What kind of race? And could Herschel run a 4.12 40? I seriously doubt it.

Juicing does give that impression, sure.

Hard to beat someone's arse when you've got an arrow between the eyes at 200 yards.
