Probably Bo. But put on a Tape of Raiders vs Bengals. I watched Bo run roughshod on our defense. But watch when 37 was in the Field. I'll save you some time, Bo didn't go out of his way to find David Fulcher . Few people did, even Bo. Fulcher was as good as Lott, or better. Fulcher was Underrated, but watch some old Bengals games, He Was A BadAss. Basically a LB playing Safety. No matter how bad you are there's always someone a little badder.
@ChristopherTeague-cs8vg until Bo got hurt against you guys he ran thru your defense like tissue paper. Fulcher wasn't a factor. 😂 Fulcher was no Ronnie Lott don't get that twisted.
Hard to jump up and get in Bo’s face after getting their bells rung. 😉 I’m 52 and Bo has always been my favorite player to watch. Power & unbelievable speed. “like little kids chasing a grown man.”
Met Ronnie Lott at a wedding, when I was 15 years old. Classiest guy ever! Gave me so much time and attention (I was- and still am- a true Niners fan). Mr. Lott took my address, and ended up sending me a signed photo of himself which reads: "Be the Best! Ronnie Lott" and still hangs on my office wall today. Lott, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Dwight Clark and Roger Craig are my favorite NFL players ever (in that order).
So true about Ronnie Lott. Saw him at a restaurant where l was waiting tables. Was as nice as he could be to everyone that was interrupting him. I have always said that he is person you want to emulate. The guy who could take anyone apart with his own 2 hands was the most considerate thoughtful guy in the room.
@@RCSTILE Campbell was one of the greatest running backs ever and I would take him over Bo because he was more durable But I was talking greatest athletes Bo could hit a baseball a mile and had a cannon for an arm and was as fast as anyone ever. He was a two sport athlete that had his career cut way short
You have to remember that Bo Jackson is playing against the best defense in the NFL during this time(Ronnie Lott, Bill Romanowski, Charles Haley ect.) He had an average game against the team that won back to back superbowl championships
Yeah, but look at his career stats. Bo was never the best RB in the league. Not even close. I feel like Nike and Tecmo Bowl had as much to do with people revising his impact as anything... and I was a kid during the Bo Knows days, so I'm not even biased. He was not that great in the NFL.
@thegrandpencil4374 then you didn't watch many of his games. He had countless runs where he broke 60+ yard touchdowns. Ran people over. He didn't make a bigger impact because he split time between sports and didn't play full seasons as a result. In addition he split time with Marcus Allen limiting his total carries. Then his career was cut very short from his hip injury. He was a freak athlete during his heyday though. Maybe the best athlete. I was not a Bo Jackson fan. I got tired of hearing about him, but can't deny his greatness. His career was so short it's really a shame to never get to see what he could have really done.
@@the-next-gear3626 Yes, he had potential, but my point is that we never got to see it. We don't know how good he'd have been if he'd actually carried the ball as much as Payton or Barry Sanders did, but for some reason, people have made him out to be their equal, or even their superior... which is just insane. Bo was not like Deon, who also played both sports but was the best at his position. Bo was NOT the best RB in the league. He was simply a freak athlete that never got a chance to show us what he could do.
@@thegrandpencil4374Bo Jackson missed the 1st 4 games every year because of Baseball. He was basically the only offense the Raiders had during those years.
Bo was a joy, not just in football but baseball as well. I lived in Reno and would go to the old MCM to watch the Royals on the big screens just because with Bo it was a different game, both defense and offense. Such a shame we only had him injury free for such a short time!
Two of my favorite players, I used to be a regular at the LA Coliseum back then, I miss the days you didn’t have to mortgage your house to go to a game. Bo was a beast, I have two of his jerseys in my closet right now and Ronnie was in my opinion meant to be a Raider, I was ecstatic when he finally came to the Raiders for a couple years towards the end of his career.
Hey Bro Do you remember a game at the Colliseum against the cardinals when Bo hurdled over a tackler and finally went down at the 1 yard line? It was incredible. Then Marcus next play got the touchdown. I was there
@ no I don’t remember that particular game unfortunately, I went to so many games at the coliseum that it’s hard to remember any particular games except my first game there when I saw Joe Namath play, yeah I’m that old lol, and the 1983 AFC Championship game against the Seahawks, I went on the field to celebrate the win after the game with a lot of other fans and went home with a nice bruise in the middle of my back compliments of an LAPD billy club lol.
It was actually an impressive performance by Bo, 18 carrier for 85 yards. That Niner defense was highly underrated, with Charles Haley, Michael Carter, Riki Ellison, Keena Turner, Eric Wright, and of course, Ronnie Lott.
Watched him sprint 35 yards back and to his right and then halfway up the wall in left center field to make a catch against the O’s at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore one night years ago. Unforgettable. Impossible for mere mortals.
Marcus did a lot of things very well on the field. He was never considered fast, but he was a plus blocker, a pretty good route runner and receiver, he could throw, and he was an elusive runner. On top of that he played 16 years in the league.
if i remember, i think there was 8 plays. even if you picked the same play on defense, bo would still run the field. raiders and 49er's (montana to rice was a gimme as well) were banned in our tecmo tourney's. haha, good times.

You’re right about Wright. That terrible groin injury in 85-86’ derailed what would likely have been a HOF career. He was a good nickel after that, but never the same.

The ENTIRE SEC did and all other college football teams that had to play Auburn in that era. Bo earned his HEISMAN and no coincidence that Heisman was THE AUBURN man...WAR EAGLE !!
Thank GOD I got to see the Raiders when they moved to L.A. Bo jackson was a nightmare for any team..... I can only say thank you GOD for having the Raiders here in L.A. for a time.
The talent on the field for both teams on both sides of the ball is absolutely unbelievable. This is the problem with too many teams, the talent pool is watered down, fewer teams equals more great players.
As a die hard Raider fan I had the privilege of seeing Bo play live and boy was it an experience. But also as a die hard I can admit when my teams owner effed up badly and they stank as such: 1) Moving out of Oakland 2) Screwing over Marcus all those years when we had Bo. No secret Al Davis hated Marcus and did this on purpose.
Bo wasn't very elusive, but basically brute force with 4.2 speed. I could imagine what it was like to tackle a guy like that in the open field smh I wish Bo would have been able to play a full season in the NFL. His career rushing Avg. was 5.4 YPC. Give him a full 16 game season, and I think he averages MINIMUM 13-1400+ yards
@@thegrandpencil4374 Man STOP IT. Any NFL RB that has a CAREER avg. of 5.4 yards a carry is something beyond "good". And yes Barry and Walter were great. All-time great even. But they weren't starting there NFL season's after finishing a FULL season of Major League Baseball, with NO training camp, preseason or off season to work and condition themselves toward there specific craft as an NFL RB. The only athlete EVER to make an all-star team in BOTH professional leagues is "more hype then anything"?
@@Riles3152 Rushing averages mean little when you're only rushing 150 times a season. Running backs during that era, great ones, anyway, rushed double that... which will lower your averages. Barry Sanders rushed for five yards a carry while rushing the ball over 330 times! Bo didn't run the ball enough for us to see if he could compare with that. Also, Deon Sanders, who was a two-way athlete, was the best DB in the league... hands down. He also returned kicks. So there is precedent for a two-way athlete doing it full time AND being the very best in the game at his position. But I feel like my point is being missed here. Bo Jackson did NOT play enough, and did not play LONG enough to warrant the praise. In order to be put up there with the greats, you need to have a full career that can be properly judged. What Bo gave us was a hint, a snapshot of what MIGHT have been. He wasn't around long enough for us to ever know how good he truly was. That's all I'm saying.
@@thegrandpencil4374 Ok I get what your saying, at the same time I think Bo gave us enough film in college to reasonably assume that had he concentrated, directed his training and focus on football, he certainly had a hall of fame ceiling. The man won the Heisman trophy his final year at Auburn lol 278 carries for over 1700 yards and 17 TD's. With that size, strength and speed, there's not much reason to not think he wouldn't have been a not quite as bruising but really a faster version of Earl Campbell. And Earl dominated the NFL his first few seasons. And to your Deion point, yes he was the all-time standard at the CB position, but his BASEBALL ceiling wasn't on Bo's level. Even he admitted that he was just ok in baseball. I think Bo had the PHYSICAL tools and raw talent to have been a potential HOF in either sport had he concentrated solely on that sport from the beginning. I don't know if Deion would have ever been a HOF in baseball no matter how full time dedicated he was to the sport.
I’m a Raider but the 49ers gave him as good as they got that day and Bo loved to lean into the final tackle coming for him. Lott made sure it was him taking the shot every time
Wheeeew!!! Very respectable players. Could Ronnie Lott look average!! That guy was a hitter. How about #42 gets horizontal, and goes around 180 degrees before he lands, stopping Jackson at 1:06.
I had the good fortune of seeing Ronnie inducted into the HOF beside Joe Montana and Howie Long.All I can say is if I was a running back and Ronnie was on the field I would want to run the other way.
Except for Earl Campbell. Now he was truly a tank that would steam role over u. I watched some of his games on my phone,and if hadn't seen it. I wouldn't believed it.
@@PaulZink-k8d Earl was incredible but I think Bo was a bit better. Bo was the fastest player in NFL history. He supposedly ran a 4.13 40 yard dash at 230 lbs. He also chucked Brian Bosworth like a child's toy. Earl was more of a cement mixer rolling over people much like Marshawn Lynch "The Beast Mode" who is my favorite running back.
Ronnie Lott thinking to himself, "I don't get paid enough for this sh*t..." TWO real-life football legends! Lott and Jackson. I have been fortunate enough to have met both of these men. Both real gentlemen.
Bo Jackson fan here...The title is misleading. It's Bo Jackson's runs vs 49ers 11/13/98...I will say, it was quite impressive how Bo knocked Lott off his feet. Raider Nation!
This is real football. I don’t even watch the NFL anymore since the present commissioner has been in charge. I’m 55 years old and an Alabama fan in college and close to completely losing interest since the transfer portal and NIL came into existence.
Bo looks human. That doesn't take into consideration that everyone else had played a full preseason, training camp and numerous games at this point while Bo was coming in fresh and uninjured.
Lott's job was to stop Jackson, which he did. Bumping him out of bounds was a win for the defense. When you are the sole defender between a ball carrier and a potential TD, your job isn't to attempt to light him up with a highlight reel tackle. It is to make certain he doesn't get by you.
This 49ers team was one of the best all time IMO. Miss this time in the NFL and Bo Jackson. Gone from the game too soon. Can’t help but think of what might have been.
Who won this head to head matchup? 🤔
Haven’t seen anyone get the better of Ronnie Lott, but Bo is just different. Bo won this
Neither!
Probably Bo. But put on a Tape of Raiders vs Bengals. I watched Bo run roughshod on our defense. But watch when 37 was in the Field.

This is the NFL, I grew up watching!
Yup me too! The 49ers have been my team since I was a young child so I was loving the 80’s and even 90’s 49ers teams!
One thing i noticed... there was nobody jumping in the opponent's faces after every play. There was soooooo much more respect back then.
People just playing the game, and slapping each other on the back after plays. It was a better time. Except for Bill Romanowski. F that guy 🤣
So difficult to watch the showboating games of today.
That was a good way to get targeted by the opposing team back then, when they were still allowed to hit each other.
Hard to jump up and get in Bo’s face after getting their bells rung. 😉
I’m 52 and Bo has always been my favorite player to watch. Power & unbelievable speed. “like little kids chasing a grown man.”

Thank GOD I got to see the Raiders when they moved to L.A. Bo jackson was a nightmare for any team.....
I can only say thank you GOD for having the Raiders here in L.A. for a time.
The talent on the field for both teams on both sides of the ball is absolutely unbelievable. This is the problem with too many teams, the talent pool is watered down, fewer teams equals more great players.
#49 Fuller Was bussin Bo ass 2-0 in 1on1 tackle .. But Lott was 0-2 Vs Bo
#49… Not really, lol. Not sure what you were watching.
What a great 👍 one ☝️ on one ☝️ matchup
2 greats going at it!!
These two guys were absolute beasts. Just too bad Bo’s career was cut short.
My dad had Raider season tickets. Bo had an amazing blend of speed and power. I remember his last run
That backfield with Lott, Hicks and Wright was badass. Goes to show how much stronger Bo was. Raiderrrss!!!
Lott and them boys was sore the next day fasho 😂😂
Looked like Bo was limping near the end of the video.
Sweep left... Sweep right...Man those were the days..!!
As a die hard Raider fan I had the privilege of seeing Bo play live and boy was it an experience. But also as a die hard I can admit when my teams owner effed up badly and they stank as such:
1) Moving out of Oakland
2) Screwing over Marcus all those years when we had Bo.
No secret Al Davis hated Marcus and did this on purpose.
Al Davis was the reason I wasn't a Raiders fan. What a jerk he was.
So much more CLASS than today's players.
It's too bad Bo suffered that freak injury, we'll never know how good he could have been. Just an incredible runner.
Golden era of football! Those were the days!
Bo wasn't very elusive, but basically brute force with 4.2 speed. I could imagine what it was like to tackle a guy like that in the open field smh I wish Bo would have been able to play a full season in the NFL. His career rushing Avg. was 5.4 YPC. Give him a full 16 game season, and I think he averages MINIMUM 13-1400+ yards
He was good, not great. Payton and Sanders were great. Bo was more hype than anything.
@@thegrandpencil4374 Man STOP IT. Any NFL RB that has a CAREER avg. of 5.4 yards a carry is something beyond "good". And yes Barry and Walter were great. All-time great even. But they weren't starting there NFL season's after finishing a FULL season of Major League Baseball, with NO training camp, preseason or off season to work and condition themselves toward there specific craft as an NFL RB. The only athlete EVER to make an all-star team in BOTH professional leagues is "more hype then anything"?
@@Riles3152 Rushing averages mean little when you're only rushing 150 times a season. Running backs during that era, great ones, anyway, rushed double that... which will lower your averages. Barry Sanders rushed for five yards a carry while rushing the ball over 330 times! Bo didn't run the ball enough for us to see if he could compare with that.
Also, Deon Sanders, who was a two-way athlete, was the best DB in the league... hands down. He also returned kicks. So there is precedent for a two-way athlete doing it full time AND being the very best in the game at his position.
But I feel like my point is being missed here. Bo Jackson did NOT play enough, and did not play LONG enough to warrant the praise. In order to be put up there with the greats, you need to have a full career that can be properly judged. What Bo gave us was a hint, a snapshot of what MIGHT have been. He wasn't around long enough for us to ever know how good he truly was. That's all I'm saying.
BO KNOWS!!!🏈
@@thegrandpencil4374 Ok I get what your saying, at the same time I think Bo gave us enough film in college to reasonably assume that had he concentrated, directed his training and focus on football, he certainly had a hall of fame ceiling. The man won the Heisman trophy his final year at Auburn lol 278 carries for over 1700 yards and 17 TD's. With that size, strength and speed, there's not much reason to not think he wouldn't have been a not quite as bruising but really a faster version of Earl Campbell. And Earl dominated the NFL his first few seasons.
And to your Deion point, yes he was the all-time standard at the CB position, but his BASEBALL ceiling wasn't on Bo's level. Even he admitted that he was just ok in baseball. I think Bo had the PHYSICAL tools and raw talent to have been a potential HOF in either sport had he concentrated solely on that sport from the beginning. I don't know if Deion would have ever been a HOF in baseball no matter how full time dedicated he was to the sport.
I’m a Raider but the 49ers gave him as good as they got that day and Bo loved to lean into the final tackle coming for him. Lott made sure it was him taking the shot every time
At 1.27, the way he explodes into the gap and then carries three tacklers for another 7 yards, extraordinary.
I was this game. I remember it vividly. Bo Jackson was a running machine. This was a good match up. It was still very good Bay Area rivalry.
Jackson didn't play in Oakland..
Wheeeew!!! Very respectable players. Could Ronnie Lott look average!! That guy was a hitter. How about #42 gets horizontal, and goes around 180 degrees before he lands, stopping Jackson at 1:06.
I had the good fortune of seeing Ronnie inducted into the HOF beside Joe Montana and Howie Long.All I can say is if I was a running back and Ronnie was on the field I would want to run the other way.
skip the game because of an ingrown toenail like today's weak, overpaid athletes!!
@@beedettfreeHilarious 😅😂🤣
Need more of these old school matchups. This was nice. Jeff Fuller & Eric Wright packed him up a few times. Lott was too high
Bo was the best there ever was. Strength and speed unmatched.
Except for Earl Campbell. Now he was truly a tank that would steam role over u. I watched some of his games on my phone,and if hadn't seen it. I wouldn't believed it.
@@PaulZink-k8d Earl was incredible but I think Bo was a bit better. Bo was the fastest player in NFL history. He supposedly ran a 4.13 40 yard dash at 230 lbs. He also chucked Brian Bosworth like a child's toy. Earl was more of a cement mixer rolling over people much like Marshawn Lynch "The Beast Mode" who is my favorite running back.
2 of the best players to ever play the game, period!
Marcus Allen most durable back in nfl
Two amazing players! He did helmet him straight into his body!
It’s amazing to see what football looked like before it was phony, fake and fixed
Ronnie Lott thinking to himself, "I don't get paid enough for this sh*t..." TWO real-life football legends! Lott and Jackson. I have been fortunate enough to have met both of these men. Both real gentlemen.
I don't know about that sir. Ronnie was a animal. Literally,. Look up what he did in a game where injured his finger pretty bad...
Look at how.many guys in the box to try and stop the run and they still couldn't stop BO
Truth of it is they both did Great job
Bo Jackson fan here...The title is misleading. It's Bo Jackson's runs vs 49ers 11/13/98...I will say, it was quite impressive how Bo knocked Lott off his feet. Raider Nation!
This is real football. I don’t even watch the NFL anymore since the present commissioner has been in charge.
I’m 55 years old and an Alabama fan in college and close to completely losing interest since the transfer portal and NIL came into existence.
What year was this game, I’d like to look it up and watch the whole game.
A defense that has a Charles Haley, Bill Romanowski, and a Ronnie Lott at each of the 3 levels.
The play calling has gotten so much more creative in modern times
Hard runnin 👊
Legend
Bo was awesome . Eric Wright a Mizzou man
Epic!
This is the only guy that gets mentioned in the same breath as Jim Brown . If he had longevity , who knows how great he might have been. What a beast.
Never saw Bo on the football field, but I saw him hit a dinger to center at Fenway in blowout win vs Redsox
Ronnie Lott was a beast so was Bo. Safety verses running back. I think Ronnie wins this battle! Bo never gets past Ronnie.
The legend of Bo Jackson can never be matched or lived up to. Not even by Bo Jackson
Please make one (or two as it may) on Anthony Munõz vs Lawrence Taylor.
And watch the scales fall from people's eyes.
In my opinion Barry Sanders was the greatest ever, but Bo had me on the edge of my seat every time he had the ball
How I love those raider uniforms
Bo's BLOCKING FULLBACK was underrated...
Bo looks human. That doesn't take into consideration that everyone else had played a full preseason, training camp and numerous games at this point while Bo was coming in fresh and uninjured.
Why wouldn't he look human?
The Raiders were not a good team at this time. The 49er's were one of if not the best in the NFL, then.
Marcus playing FB is effing wild.
The last era in the NFL when the players were gladiators. Soon enough the NFL will require flags velcro’d to their hips
Man these were some tough hits by Niners.
RL couldn't stop Bo. Period.
Yes he could. Seen multiple players stop him really. Comma.
Lott's job was to stop Jackson, which he did. Bumping him out of bounds was a win for the defense. When you are the sole defender between a ball carrier and a potential TD, your job isn't to attempt to light him up with a highlight reel tackle. It is to make certain he doesn't get by you.
Best days of our lives
This 49ers team was one of the best all time IMO. Miss this time in the NFL and Bo Jackson. Gone from the game too soon. Can’t help but think of what might have been.
Its a shame his career got cut short he was a tremendous Athlete 😢
Namath was a great color man in the booth. This must’ve been a Monday night game.
I knew the voice but couldn't make the connection.
This wasn't monday night football. Especially without al michaels
Bo is the greatest American Athlete since Jim Thorpe.
