Among those called the "World's Top 3," there are two that almost no one disputes

‌
When you look at things called the "World's Top 3," most of them are based on mysterious sources originating from Japan.
There are lists like the "World's Top 3 Cuisines," "World's Top 3 Delicacies," or "World's Top 3 Mystery Novels" that actually leave Westerners feeling puzzled when they hear them.
There are also cases like the "World's Top 3 Festivals" or "World's Top 3 Night Views," where things seem forced just to squeeze in one Japanese entry.
Even so, among those called the "World's Top 3," there are two where there is almost no disagreement:
The World's Top 3 Footballers
Messi, Pelé, and Maradona—there is likely almost no dispute even regarding their ranking.
The World's Top 3 Waterfalls
Iguazu, Victoria, and Niagara—it is difficult to even find other waterfalls that could compete with these.
