It's always hard to do a side-by-side comparison between two athletes that did not play during the same era. Rules change, competition is different, and playing conditions can also be different.
In golf, today's players have much different equipment than in earlier times but the lengths of courses has increased. In baseball, pitching is not the same. Just like with Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game; who knows if any of the current superstars could match it if the conditions for that game could be duplicated somehow.
Any discussion of GOAT will bring a lot of disagreement because none of the sports are static.
