No idea...different players, different eras, different opponents, different study tools.
These "whos better" questions are like asking: 'Which is better, apples or oranges?"
Its personal opinion that doesnt prove anything.

I checked it out, and unfortunately, its train wrecked into the same flaming pile of poo that most things here do. A lot of ignorance, and misinformation.
Which one's better, me, or you. I'd say I'm better and you'd say your better. Who's better?

Could Howard Staunton beat Susan Polgar at Chess960?
Discuss.
OK.
Staunton was one of the most prolific odds-givers of all time and not just standard odds such a Pawn&move but strange odds too. He was also quite successful at this form of chess. So, unusual starting positions just might be something he would have been good at. Of course we'll never know.
But on the other hand Susan Polgar is Susan Polgar, as Tal might have said.
