@RuyLopez1000 What's your opinion?

I had Max Euwe on my mind when I made the post.

Also Anatoly Karpov, who is usually ranked beneath Fischer, even though he was greater the Fischer. Karpov was either no.1 or no.2 for almost 20 years.

I would say Boris Spassky. Because of the 1972 match against Fischer, people only remember him as the loser. However, he was an incredibly universal and strong champion before that.
