Are there any expressions similar to or more emphasized than 'hands down'?

He won the match, hands down.
Hands down, it's the best catch ever taken.

not sure if you are looking for an idiomatic phrasal alternative

He won the match, convincingly, unequivocally.

With out a doubt, it was the best cricketers catch ever taken.
