He might be definitely challenged with Wayne and Mario, those are like the best of the best, phenomenons only comparable to Michael Jordan in NBA a likes.
I can think of only one defensemen coming close to him, was always a HUGE fan of Paul Coffey, damn he was flying on the skates.

true - only Coffey as a defenceman can be included in any conversation about Bobby Orr - but only offensively and skating wise, Coffey was a mess in his own end other than skating the puck out of it - most people don't know how tough Orr was, he rarely fought but when he did he could take care of himself and he was very strong.
lost all his money to his snake of an agent - middle aged and broke - rebuilt himself into a millionaire.
