Hanged Man is a strong stand, however unlike the stands I personally think are the strongest of Part 3, it doesn't have either the condition that makes it broken or a nature that makes the stand almost impossible to lose a fight with.

Under the situation where they have to fight til a person emerge victorious,

Cream can just turn into a void and stay like that for hours on end, the only restriction is the user's need to take care of hunger and thirst otherwise you just can't beat it (Cream was only defeated because Vanilla Ice lacks anything that resembles a common sense).

Death 13 can try its attacks infinitely until he succeeds as your memory inside the dream does not carry over into the real world, nor can you summon your stand once you're inside the dream in order to fight against Death 13. It only lost because he was cocky and revealed the user's identity on the spot thinking the victory was guaranteed, and he should heal his victims if the assault is not successful but he overlooked that.

Yellow Temperance is invincible by default, the only way to win against him is by drowning the user, which the story conveniently happened in an amusement part otherwise Joestar's journey in Part 3 could have ended right there.

Sethan is broken in a sense that, unless you have an ability stand that gives the user some sort of superhuman agility, otherwise this stand's first strike is always gonna hit. Under normal circumstances if the user is anywhere near the competent mark, the fight has already ended. But Alessi is definitely not the competent man for the task as he lost in wits against a 3 years old and lost in physical fight to a 7 years old.

To combat Hanged Man, if there is a logical guy with a stand who's speed rating is A, it would be toast before the fight even started. That's why Hanged Man is certain tier 1 or 2, but it's not broken like some others and so it didn't make onto my list.
