T.O., Ochocinco argue about who was the better receiver
Terrell Owens and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson are arguably the two biggest diva receivers to ever play in the NFL.
Both were outstanding on the field, but it was their smack talk and complete confidence in their skills that made them such compelling players.
The two former receivers showed they haven't changed since their time in the league, engaging in a friendly Twitter debate Saturday about who was the superior wideout.
@terrellowens Be honest, I was a better receiver huh?

Owens shot back at Johnson, telling him to compare their stats during the 2010 season, when they were both with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Check my stats homie! Especially the year we played on the same team. Does that refresh ur memory? Huh? #BeHonest https://t.co/nOpkLLCsSz

In what was Owens' last season in the league, he led the Bengals with 72 catches for 983 yards and nine touchdowns. Johnson trailed him in every category, catching 69 balls for 831 yards and four scores.
Owens was also four years older than Johnson at the time.
Johnson didn't care much for the stats argument.
Stats can misleading at times, I'm better than you & I'll beat you up again if you piss me off. https://t.co/tcUp1CltJU

Owens wasn't satisfied with his apparent victory, however, twisting the knife with a backhanded compliment.
@ochocinco, I will admit u might have the quickest feet of a receiver I've seen tho. FYI: I said quick not fast.

Don't disrespect me, I have/had the best feet & routes ever, you weren't faster than me I just had a bad hamstring. https://t.co/1qPtvbL3q3
