Fischer was able to beat the powerful Soviet Union... in effect, an entire country by himself. Morphy never had such a powerful opposition. Of course, Fischer demolished everyone else and would have crushed Karpov. Powerful opponents were crushed and he won tournaments (with GMs) by ridiculous scores. I'm not sure if you can find a Morphy parallel. An argument can be made for Morphy, but of course he didn’t have to defeat an entire machine as did Fischer.

The legendary Paul Morphy was the greatest. As Fischer himself stated, if he were alive today, he would be familiar with all of the book knowledge and he was the most accurate player who ever lived. Morphy was light years ahead of his time, something that cannot be said about any other player, including Fischer. Fischer was the 2nd greatest player of all time.
