who do you think is better, GM Hikaru Nakamura or GM Andrew Tang?

Hikaru Nakamura is Hikaru on chess.com

Andrew Tang is penguingm1 on chess.com and penguingim1 on lichess

If they competed in a blitz match who do you think would win?
Hikaru is the top rated blitz player in the world. Higher then Carlsen.
@mysterious_1 Actually Nakamura is rated 2900 FIDE in blitz. #1 ranked in the world. Tang is rated 2584 FIDE in blitz. That's more than 300 points difference.

A couple of their online blitz matches are on youtube. One ended 17-0 Hikaru. Another ended 25-4 Hikaru.

Tang's only chance is bullet. But even then his chances aren't very good. They played a 117 game match (avail. on youtube). Hikaru won 84.5-34.5.

No slight on Andrew. He is a phenomenal player.. capable of beating just about anyone in the world at fast time controls... a level that very, very few people will ever attain... which makes Hikaru's performances even more impressive. Hikaru is a grandmaster of grandmasters.. a super grandmaster. A legit force of nature.
maybe Tang is better in Bullet , i don't know . but almost everytime i heard or saw him , it was related to Bullet

i also saw his match review against Leela where he managed to get 1 win ( but in turn Leela won 4 ) .

Hikaru is better in Classical ( no. 18 , 2736 ) , Rapid
( 2829 , only behind Carlsen 2881 , Vachier Lagrave 2860 , and Ding Liren 2836 )

he is also better in Blitz , rated 2900 . the highest in the world above Carlsen ( 2886 ) , Vachier Lagrave
( 2822 ) , Wesley So ( 2816 )
