It's just "second to none" but written more verbosely

Wouldn't it be "second to one"?

There's a sentence in Cantonese "我認第二冇人敢認第一", which means "if I declare second, no one will declare first".

I wasn't super sure if they meant that because Simplified Chinese is not likely to be Cantonese but Mandarin.

No. Second to none means the best, this means the second best.
