Nah. Ago was another who had the advantage at times of having the only factory bike, lapping the entire field, winning by minutes.
Hailwood though rode anything and everything. Although he did have a golden start. Back when the Honda 250 fours were new his dad paid huge money to buy him one. He then the only one in private hands, big step up from his NSU 250, but had the talent to carry it on.
Rossi too had advantages, tyres for one. All three of those guys made the most of their opportunities. I wouldn't rank them.
The competition now is probably tougher than it has ever been and if Suzuki can get their ducks in a row, it's could get tougher. Whoever wins these days deserves it.
We don't know how lucky we are...
I note that Capirossi has been appointed Dorna rep in Race Direction.

I like to think Rossi can get #10, a big ask but possible. MM is also for sure a good chance, but maybe Lorenzo will bring Ducati home #1
I think Ducati is ready for another win, Lorenzo is not a favourite for me but his skill is not in question. Even Vinales if he is more consistent.
It will be a great year
Even though I'm not a Rossi fan, I'd still kinda like to see the Old Boy win his tenth. Like to see Lorenzo win it too to give Yamaha the finger, even though I'm no real fan. Seeing as I'm a huge MM fan I'd like to see him do it and rewrite the record books as he goes. And I'd also like tom see MV win it!
So many choice outcomes!
And as you say...
Stoner's doing it tough I see...
