I did not see any such comparison on this thread at all.
There was a comparison made between Beano and a Hard Road. I did not make this comparison because afaic Hard Road is not one of PG’s stronger efforts whereas Beano is Clapton at the top of his game not to mention the tonal archetype for the Les Paul and Marshall tone.
It was for that reason that I specifically included some of PG’s live work as it better reflects his talent and (pre out of phase) tone. It is also provides a fairer comparison to Clapton’s strong effort on Beano.

That's what's happening here, more or less. Green has live recordings with Mayall, Clapton doesn't (he does have a few, but the quality is quite poor). So of course Green has the advantage in this kind of direct comparison.
They are great blues guitar slingers and definitely, including Bloomfield in the mix, they were the best blues players in the world in 1967 (although Clapton was more and more of a rockstar by then)
