undisputed
Without competition or doubt about the leading position; clearly superior and not called into question.
Die Sportlerin ist seit Jahren die unangefochtene Weltmeisterin in ihrer Disziplin.
The athlete has been the undisputed world champion in her discipline for years.
This word consists of the prefix 'un-' and 'angefochten' (contested), the past participle of 'anfechten' (to challenge, to contest). 'Unangefochten' (undisputed) therefore literally means 'un-contested' or 'not challenged'.
Der Boxer verteidigte seinen Titel unangefochten.
The boxer defended his title undisputedly.
'Unangefochten' (undisputed) is often used in contexts such as sports, business, or politics. Typical combinations are 'die unangefochtene Nummer eins' (the undisputed number one), 'der unangefochtene Marktführer' (the undisputed market leader), or 'unangefochten an der Spitze stehen' (to stand undisputed at the top).
Das Unternehmen ist der unangefochtene Marktführer in der Region.
The company is the undisputed market leader in the region.
Besides being used before a noun, 'unangefochten' (undisputed) can also stand directly with a verb as an adverb. It then describes that an action is carried out without competition or doubt.
Er gewann das Rennen unangefochten mit großem Vorsprung.
He won the race undisputedly, with a large lead.
to consider
'überlegen' and 'unangefochten' can both describe someone or something as stronger or better than others. 'überlegen' mainly says that a person, team, or solution is better in comparison. 'unangefochten' goes further: the leading position is not seriously challenged, and there is hardly any competition or doubt. 'überlegen' works well in concrete comparisons, for example in sports or arguments. 'unangefochten' is more suitable when someone is clearly in first place.
