By now we can all tell that Bolin has surpassed Mako in almost every aspect.
The only thing that makes Mako stronger than Bolin is his ability to be skeptical about the hidden ideals behind people's words, something Bolin keeps falling for time and again.
Once he learns to listen to 'the message behind the words' (so to speak), he'll be able to surpass Mako in every sense of the way.
I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head. Mako is definitely tougher hearted, and Bolin is a sweetheart, but if those two traits were switched Bolin would be an unstoppable opponent.
