Structure of "...as...as" sentence

Which is the correct structure when I use......as....as in a sentence?

  1. No poet is as renowned as William Wordsworth is.

  2. No other poet is as renowned as William Wordsworth is.

My grammar books says and many websites also say that 2 is grammatically correct though I have seen both are used in daily conversations by both native and non native speakers. Can anyone please explain If 1 is grammatical and if I can use both?
