Yeah PW is the worst for everything bosses. There's no point discussing.
But Foxhound is leaps and bounds the best villain squad. They're not just the best written villains on their own but in terms of how they're written to interact with Snake is also just exceptional and with exception to maybe Naked Snake and The Boss (and I'm not so sure I think that myself), there's nothing better outside of MGS1. Snake interacts with every single person on numerous occasions and there's practically a similarity or two between Snake and his adversaries and there's actual humanity displayed, for the most part, when Snake overcomes them.
Is the Sniper duel with The End top notch? Absolutely. But does it come close to what we get when Snake beats Sniper Wolf? Not even in the ball park and the same goes for beating Mantis and Raven. The interactions, understanding and conflicts on the personal level add so much to a short game. Foxhound are a major reason why MGS1 is absolutely peak MGS for me.
