Whos better you guys think?Post Play: BoozerFace to the basket/putting the ball on the floor: BoshShot: BoshRebounding: Boozer slight edge over BoshInterior Play: Same give or take.I think these guys are really on the same level, mind you Boozer has done a better job carrying his team, but that comes with experience. Bosh had a better regular season, and I think was a bit more consistent. As for whos better in the future its really hard to tell, stats wise there only 1 or 2 numbers apart, but the only edge Id give Boozer is to what hes done these playoffs. Well have to see what each will do this season to get a good reading.
Interesting comparison. I could go either way, but give me Bosh with the slight edge. I feel he is more capable of carrying a team than Boozer. Talent wise, fairly equal players.
Right now we are seeing Boozer play all out, so if we are asking for today who is better id say Boozer, but during the regular season Bosh really did outshine Boozer. I just think Bosh has a better all-around offensive skillset but besides that they're comparable in almost every category.
boozer. Like I said before. Boozer has learnt very quickly to win in the playoffs, Bosh failed.AS everyone said they are comparable but when put in the pressure and intensity of the playoffs Boozer shined and Bosh shrivewlled

This time last year the Raptors were the worst team in the NBA and now they are a 50-win team, that says alot about Chris Bosh. Once The Raptors players develop Bosh will have plenty of playoff pushes to come.
It depends what type of offense I want to play. If I want a high pasted offense, I'm going with Chris Bosh. If I want to slow it down and get the ball inside, I'll go with Boozer.
You guys know what I noticed? Boozer is not good in generating his own offense, like if he got the ball on the top of the key, he would pass it or, look to pass it, go to the post, and then go from there. Something I think gives Bosh a huge advantage because that what franchise players do, create their own offense.

Agasint SA it is harder, especially from top of key. He is a big man, and knows that the post is his best bet to score, as does Duncan.

I would say Bosh, because of his motivation and athleticism. Boozer is a solid rebounder and gets his share of scores, but Bosh is more athletic, blocks more shots, and is motivated.
I'm taking Bosh. Boozer is the better rebounder, but you are kidding yourself if you think he's also better offensively. I'm sorry, but Deron Williams is constantly feeding Boozer the ball inside for easy looks. Chris works for himself. He's got an amazing jump shot for a big guy, he can drive it very well, and he is working hard on his post up game. Defensively, I don't know...But I'm taking Bosh because of his edge on offense.

If you mean the end of last year, then yes; maybe....only because Bosh was out...We were nothing last year without Chris.

The Raptors were so bad they got the 1st overall pick. Going from worst record in NBA to 50 wins is impressive. Im not taking anything away from Boozer, but you have to give Bosh that at the least.
This is a good comparision. Both are strong rebounders & score in the 20's (we'll call this equal)A few differences;Bosh has taken and made a lot more clutch shots for the Raptors.While both are the primary option for scoring on their team, but the difference between Bosh and the #2 scorer on his team is 8.6 ppg. Boozer scores 3.3 more ppg than okhur. Bosh has to shoulder more of the responsibility for the Raps. Boozer shoots better from the floor (6.5% better), but that may be due to Bosh's range (34% from 3pt line vs no attempts by Boozer) and Bosh is 10% better from the FT line.wow other than that the only big difference is that Bosh is 2 years 8 months younger but was drafted the year after Boozer.2 very good PF's who would benefit any team
Bosh gets too much credit for the Raptors' success. How about Sam Mitchell being a good coach? How about having players that have improved? Calderon? Ford? Garbajosa? Anthony Parker? They have a deep squad. I'd take Boozer any day. They made it to the WCF with Okur nonexistent the entire playoffs. Basically a two man team with the occasional contributions from Fisher and Millsap. People think Bosh is a better player because he "creates" his own shot. PF's don't need to dribble from the 3-pt line and drive to the rim. That's not what they're needed to do. I want my PF to rebound and dominate the paint. And that's what Boozer does. I'd rather have a post-up back-to-the-basket PF than a face-up jumpshooting PF. There's too many face-up big men in the league. How many legitimate post players are there left? These are the only legit post players left in the game:1. Duncan2. Shaq (if he still counts)3. Yao4. Curry5. Randolph6. Garnett7. Boozer8. Sheed (when he feels like it)9. J. O'Neal (not really anymore, but still sometimes)Considering there's 30 teams in the NBA, that's a lot of teams without a legitimate post presence. That's around 2/3 of the league without a real post-up guy. Most of the young big guys nowadays, like Bosh, Howard, and Amare are face-up guys.

Bosh, because I'm biased. But seriously, Bosh has the potential to become one if not the best bigman in the league in years to come.
