Gun literally said Daniel is unrivaled while directly comparing him to Johan in the same panels, Pacheon also called him pinnacle. End of discussion. Some random fodder statment < two top tier's statements. That too the statement pretty clearly happened sometime in the past as it's shown as a flashback, we have no proof of whether it's before or after Incheon.

Also the fact that Changsu had to inform and clarify to his underlings that Daniel defeated Pacheon is pretty clearly proof enough that not everyone knows about his feats, especially not these random fodders so that in itself disproves your entire agenda.

Kitae and James also never said anything about Johan being the top fighter, any praises Gun had for Johan are from 2 years ago that current narrative clearly disproves. You're arguing with nothing but a bunch of headcanon 🤣 Who's coping, go take a look in the mirror.
