He is both the current rapid (5 times) and blitz (7 times) world champion. He is more than one of the best.

Sure, but he's not invincible like in Classic; those 7 wins aren't consecutive (he lost in 2021 and won 22 & 23), meanwhile he's won every classical championship since 2013 (until he stopped playing in 2023).
