Bo Jackson
AmenWas going to post this. A real shame his career ended so quickly, he could have set some records.
Sadly, I don't know much about him. Might have to look him up.This or Jim Thorpe
Is this a parroty review?Vincent "Bo" Jackson. There is no debate.
what's a raw athlete?

LT was awesome, but Bo Jackson was better.

Weird foot plant that pinches off blood flow to the hip....maybe a durability issue but no bearing on raw talent, imo.I disagree, and one might say Bo's body breaking down proves he was not as durable an athlete...
This.Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson are probably the two that immediately jump to mind.
One of my Clemson room mates was built like a brick wall and rarely lifted. He was very active in sports though.An uncooked athlete, of course.
I think what OP is getting at is who is the best "pure athlete," i.e., someone who's success in a sport is attributable to their intrinsic athletic/physical capability, as opposed to capability that was developed over time.
For example - it is alleged (however improbable) that Bo Jackson never lifted weights. At least not before his professional career. Yet he was gifted with incredible physical fitness and ability that allowed him to reach the major leagues.
Yes there is.
Jim Brown beats prime Bo rather handily.

I think you are mixing him up with Herschel Walker.it is alleged (however improbable) that Bo Jackson never lifted weights.
