I would hate to see either one denigrated. The sports are so different. Roger is like a boxer who beats an opponent into submission. His athletic skills combine with his personal dominance of an opponent. While Tiger's excellence may intimidate and depress his opposition, he is still essentially "fighting" himself and the golf course.
Both are athletes the like of which has seldom been seen before.

Except the French Open, the 4th slam, where Roger regularly gets beaten into submission by Nadal.
Way I see it, unless Roger wins all the 4 slams, and then wins them all in 12 months like Tiger did, he is not on the same level as Tiger.

I could never pick between the two. Both their performances and their grace on and off "the playing field" are beyond excellent.
