30 point contest ..guess the man and two similar personalities ?

[ABEHONEST]

Okay,I recently witnessed ,maybe,[no joke] the "greatest athlete on the entire planet" at present*** !
He was on a rerun on TV .[the mystery man]

His opponent,the challenger, was a man with a reputation of being a strong,quick footed,tougher than nails, about an inch taller , and 3/4 years younger .
The highly anticipated match was to answer a serious question .."just how good is this guy ?" [the mystery man !]
Well that question was answered in about 3 minutes .
[1.]Who were the two males for 5 points ?[mystery man and challenger]
Now the tougher question .
[2.] What two personalities,combined with superior skills,would you guess best fits this superman athlete ? [my opinion]
The two men I have in mind were ,the,arguably, the "best ever" in their professional sport ! [could be any sport]
If you haven't seen the mystery man ,or the two superstars with similar personalities,then your guess is going to be much tougher .

5 points for the correct answer's to question #1.
25 points for the correct answer's to #2.

You may have one*guess for the first Q. [only]

**Two guess's for the second Q. [only ]

One so-called tip..the mystery man go's about his sport like a "kid in a candy shop" !
If no one gets the answers by tomorrow noon ,I will give another tip or two
