a strange question

I have never met a boy more intelligent saying " Adeson was a great man"
Begin with: Adeson was said...
My friend says the answer to this question is:
Adeson was said to have been a great man by the most intelligent boy i have ever met
But I myself think that this sentence is not grammatically correct and so is the answer. Am I right or wrong?

It is not correct because of two errors. First, "i" is not a valid English word, and second, there is no ending punctuation mark. Adeson was said to have been a great man by the most intelligent boy i have ever m et

I don't mean it is wrong because of the way he wrote the letter "i". Even if he wrote "I" correctly, the sentence itself is strange.

It is perfectly OK if you fix those two errors.

Post- modifier (There is an implied relative clause)
I have never met a boy (who was) more intelligent (compared to all other boys) saying " Adeson was a great man."

Most of the time we put the modifier before the noun, but in relative clauses, we put them after the noun
