The answer to your question is Magnus. I mean, you didn't even have to write down any of his accomplishments and he's still better.
With that being said, I'm more of a Hikaru fan since he's more entertaining to watch.

Hikaru would undoubtedly be the highest skilled chess player in history if it weren't for magnus. Actually tragic that hikaru is so insanely gifted even compared the best chess players of all time and he still comes in second because he got put in the same generation as the chess messiah lolll.
