I have been compiling battle records of the most famous commanders in history and suvorov's record is very impressive indeed.24 undefeated engagements is impressive as is the 7-0 record in major victories/losses.Compared to some of his peers -

Alexander 21-0 overall / 5-0 major

Hannibal 18-7-1 (seven draw or inconclusive)/ 8-1 major

Scipio 7-1 / 6-0 major

Caesar 21-1-2 / 8-0 major

Belisarius 11-2 / 3-0 major

Khalid 27-0 / 7-0 major

Chingiz Khan 25-1-3 / 9-2 major

Subutai 37-2-1 / 7-0 major

Timur 21-1 / 7-1 major

Mehmet 12-2 / 2-1 major

Skanderbeg 26-1/ 8-0 major

Suleiman 8-2 / 2-1 major

Gonzalo Cordoba 6-1 / 2-1 major

Turenne 16- 2- 4 / 3-1 major

Gustavas Adolphus 15-3-3 / 2-0 Major

Marlborough 18 - 0 / 3-0 major

Eugene of Savoy 17-1 -3 / 5-1 major

Frederick 14-5 / 6-3 major

Davout 16-2 / 4-1 major

Napoleon 58-3-9 /16-2 major

Wellington 26-3-5 /4-0 major

Thats for pre-railroad commanders.I have missed out on several others.

From this i chose Alexander,Napoleon,Timur,Chingiz,Subutai,Khalid,Suvorov,Caesar,Skanderbeg and Hannibal as my top 10 in no order. With scipio,marlborough,eugene,frederick and belisarius,wellington as next 6.

I especially admire the ability of Suvorov to storm well fortified fortresses with the numerical superiority of the enemy.
By the way, all military schools for schoolchildren in the USSR and Russia named after Suvorov.
