Is the Shaolin martial art the best?

Are the Shaolin Martial artists really the best?, i know they won't show anybody but, They do show some of their training, Are they all they are cracked up to be? ----I'd like to see a Criminal on death row or something attack a shaolin fighting monk, and see how it goes....just incase they kill him. hah so yeah, like Would Kick boxing end up beating up a shaolin monk? or is it legit? what do you think?
