Holmes said John Clay was the fourth (and possibly the third) smartest man in London, that he was at the head of his profession, that he had an ingenious mind, and that he was one of the coolest and most daring criminals in London. Holmes twice mentioned he had previous dealings with Clay and that they were unsettled. Based on all of these comments, Clay may have been one of the three men who had beaten Holmes early in his career.
