Bosh came off the bench for half the season and was in a worse situation than Howard. I feel Bosh has more potential because he hasn't grown into his body yet and has better offensive skills. |

Hey Raptors-Ghill read this: Mick [Smith, Magic strength coach] has a plan set for me to get bigger." Howard said his family doctor says his growth plates show he can top out at 7-1. Said Howard: "I've got to get my mid-range jumper down so that I can use more stuff in my game and beat people off the dribble. And I want to work on my hook shots and my conditioning. Plus, when people see me next year I'll be a new man (physically). I'm going to be a lot bigger with even more muscle." Sounds like determination if you ask me |

not to mention howard owned bosh when they played the raptors 21 boards...bosh is the "focal point" of the raptors offense and he still struggles to put up 20 |

Actually Jalen rose is the focal point. Bosh has been close to 20 ppg on a good FG % and going to the line alot since Wince has been gone. Everyone puts up good rebounding numbers because Bosh is alone down low. You guys have Cato and Battie they are ten times better than Aruajo. |

Please, ignore this guy. Bosh is and will be no where near the level of Howard. Howard will dominate both ends of the floor, Bosh will get outmuscled by a 10 year old girl. Howard is an explosive athlete, with a ton of strength to boot. He already goes to the free throw line a lot because they just cant handle him. Bosh will never dominate the paint like Howard can and will. We have a double-double machine here, at 19 friggin years old. And all you see is Shawn Kemp? Howard will be better then Duncan and KG, he is just a rare and amazing talent. |

Bosh gets to the line more than Howard. You would have to consider he was in a perfect situation before the Magic started to struggle. He is not going to be better than Duncan or KG lol. I doubt he ever wins an MVP. Lebron will always be better. |

Hmmm....19 year old going to the line because they cant handle him. Who would you rather have? Lol, Bosh will never dominate, EVER. The guy can bench press about 50 lbs. Howard will snap that twig in half. There is no chance whatsoever Howard is ever dominated by Bosh. It is no coincidence Howard snagged 20 rebounds for the first time against Bosh, Bosh cant hold his dick. You doubt he ever wins MVP? Lol, thats funny. Bosh I doubt is ever any more then a role player. And yes, he will be better then Duncan and KG, Bosh however, wont be. He will be comparible to Joe Smith at best, lol. |

I'll bet you at Chicago Bosh benched as much or close to Howard did. Bosh never more than a role player? Did you not see him dominate Howards ass in the rookie game lol. SO wha Howard might be bigger but Nene has a Malone type body. I watched Howard tonight and a few things impressed me like his mobility and he has a good back to the basket game. He has a good knock for offensive rebounds. His defensive rebounding is below average but BIg Ben can do that to anyone. He got swatted by Sheed on a hook shot which was un impressive. Even Darko posted him up once which forced the fat little Hunter dude to smack him. |

Lol, what are you arguing here? Are you actually trying to say Bosh is close to Howards strength, when Howard could snap him in half? Please, get a clue. Howard dunked over Rasheed in the last game, did you forget that. Yea, Howard got the ball down low, jumped up and dunked it, while Rasheed tried to block him, but only managed to get his elbow. And 1 by the way. Did you seem him toss Ben aside and grab the rebound and slam it home? And did you see the rookie game, LOL. Howard went like 7/11, and dominated Bosh. Bosh got all his points on that fat slob Al Jefferson, lol. Nice try though. And when it actually counts, like in regular season games, Howard kills Bosh. I can't believe this dude is arguing for Bosh. Your fighting a battle you can't and won't win. |

Bosh and the raptors will ALWAYS suck as long as they are in Canada. And dont forget howard's bench has gone up more then 75 lbs. during the season. Bosh couldnt hold his jock. This argument is so naive, I dont know why we are even debating it. I agree that James will always be better then howard, but i believe that King James will be "The Best Ever" when all is said and done. |

How come Bosh has been close to a 20 and 10 player down low since the vince trade. He really does suck. Howard didn;t dominate Bosh in the rookie game Bosh should of been MVP. He didn't get all of his points on Al Jefferson bbtw Al Jefferson isn't far off Howard. How come Howard hasn't been player of the week yet. |

Howard stats vs. Raptors are 13 and 13 and Bosh's are 16 and 10. So thats pretty even. But if you throw in Bosh's stats in the rookie game vs. Howard Bosh wins. |

Lol, Jefferson isnt even close to Howard. Your getting more idiotic as time goes by. Did you watch the rookie game AT ALL? Bosh did what he did against Jefferson because Jefferson cant defend a chair. Bosh first shot of the game was sent away by Mr. Dwight Howard. "Al Jefferson isnt far off Howard", lol that gave me a good laugh. However, Jefferson will be better then Bosh, that I am sure of. And I love how you throw in the rookie game, as if anyone was even trying. Dwight blocked Bosh twice, but he didnt even jump, just put his hand up. That just proves that Dwight dominates even when he doesnt try, lol. Sorry, I will take the 6'11, 260 pound beast who is a double-double machine in his first year out of high school, over a 6'11, 210 pound weakling who shoots jumpers. Howard has the strength and power to FORCE a dunk in the post, Bosh will never have that capability, i.e. he will never dominate. If your a big guy, you need a power game if you are going to dominate, simple as that. Orlando has that player, Toronto doesnt. |
