I'm not sure that Hurricane and F4F-3 were better fighters than P-40B/C/D, P-39C/D, Yak-1, LaGG-3, Mig-3 or P-38D/E.
Actually, just by looking at raw speed, the MiG-3 was fastest of the lot (especially the examples built before Germans invaded), closely followed by Spitfire V and P-38. Granted, the MiG carried quite a light armament, much more close to the Italian and Japanese fighters than what West was beginning to use.
