I think that's pushing it a bit. We have the Canada Cups to show a small sample size:
1981 Canada Cup
Bossy - 11 points 25
Makarov - 9 points 22
1984 Canada Cup
Bossy - 9 points 28
Makarov - 7 points 26
Bossy outpoints him there. Not the best sample size but it's a start. What we don't know is how Makarov would have fared outside of the KLM line. How dominant is he if he doesn't have those two? Now, I think we saw enough of him to know the guy was a dominant player in his own right, no question. But does he produce at the level of Bossy? 9 seasons of 50+ goals is insane and we know Bossy did that, but could Makarov? Bossy was very much like Makarov, he was a surgeon with the puck, especially when he shot.
Ages added in bold and in 88 when Makarov was 29 he had a 9-7-8-15 line.
Bossy was great but Makarov was better IMO.
