I've never heard anyone try to claim they are the hardest band in the world. I think you're missing others' point. Black Sabbath are to heavy metal what The Beatles are to pop/rock music. Although when you compare their music with must generations later, it may appear they aren't groundbreaking, when you compare Sabbath to any music prior to them, you'll see why they are the grandfathers of heavy metal. I'm not the biggest Sabbath fan, I can see Sabbath and Zeppelin are the beginning of true hard rock/metal.
Before Sabbath/Zeppelin, there was no hard rock, IMO.
