Greyworm was literally born to fight, he is the leader of the unsullied; A bunch of guys just trained to kill and obey no matter what. I belive that their training made them the most ruthless, relentless & dangerous fighters in the whole GoT universe. He would probably still fight even if hes missing an arm or (and) a leg. Although I am curious how they would feel in Westeros. Especially in the north. They´re not used to a chilly climate  As for Dario, we do not know much about him, he is probably something between Khal Drogo & Bronn, a rogue-like fighter with a bit more "tankiness". Seems pretty strong though... If I had to choose from the given names , with respect to latest episode, I would probably say that either Mountain or Hound is (are) the strongest fighter(s). I don´t see anyone beating one of them. | ||

Grandma Tyrell (who's in King's Landing being rich). 5. The obese daughter of Frey (see 2) now married to Lord Bolton, who was presented in the beginning of episode 2. 6. Old man (faking being worse off than he is) Cersei doesn't like, and Tyrion threw into the dungeons past season. 7. Theon's dad. 8. Witch responsible for Dany's miscarriage and Drogo's death. 9. The old lady bossing Sansa around. 10. The little fat kid who hung with Aria, and stayed to bake in the inn (after they met the Brotherhood). On April 20 2014 05:09 Spaylz wrote: + Show Spoiler + I think the Hound beats the Mountain any day of the week. The Mountain is just pure brute strength, and has no real technique. Sandor is, on the other hand, a good swordsman, and an excellent fighter. You say his fight at the inn was sloppy, I say it was just his style. He took out like, what, 4 soldiers? I doubt that even Jaime in his prime could handle 4 soldiers at once, but apparently Sandor can. Also, I think Bronn is overrated, and that Brienne would die pretty quickly against the Mountain. She beat Loras because she was able to overpower him, smashing into him like a total brute. Let her try and do that against the Mountain, haha. Also, she beat Jaime because he was totally worn out, out of training and had been underfed and tied down for like a year. She's a good fighter no doubt, but the Mountain is just a freak of a man who can handle a two-handed great-sword with just one hand. If Oberyn were in the poll, I'd vote for him hands down. He drew his knife SO quickly against the Lannister bannerman, it was pretty insane. Also, yeah, according to the trailer, he's quite the dancer. And I don't know, he just has this badass attitude of the cocky guy who can backup his words  ))Qorin Halfhand was said to be a very skilled fighter, and while he wasn't one-handed, his other hand was pretty much useless as it was missing a ton of fingers. I mean, he stood up to Jon, and very likely held back so that he would kill him in a way that would let the wildlings believe it. It's likely his still whole hand is his dominant hand he's been fighting with forever though. That's entirely different from Jaime's situation. On April 20 2014 06:16 imJealous wrote: Mmmm I think you have it backwards. I don't think Jon is going to make it through this season... Boltons are heading up there to off him, and if Ygritte witnesses that then she becomes the main protagonist in the north with a revenge motive against house Bolton who also gives us a point of view into the wildlings. Plus there's still Brann in the north. She's already got a revenge motive on Jon at the moment, though. It's unlikely he'd perish as the only Stark-related at the wall (where important things are bound to happen soon). | ||

He was the last one named by Milisandre named while burning the leeches. Anyone else think its funny that when quasi-good guy/good guy charactes have super magical powers to insta kill their enemies they always kill people whose deaths dont benefit them nearly as much as the real bad guys. ie: stannis could have asked to kill the tyrells and tywin and then beat the two children Renly and Joffrey at his time. Arya could have killed Tywin. | ||

Taking out Renly first was definitely the right move though. He was steadily gaining strength and was probably the most threatening of the five kings. At the time, Tywin was preoccupied with Robb, and the Greyjoys were still watching from the sidelines. | ||

She fights to win and she can't be terrible if she got to the final round vs Loras, but I'm not convinced of much yet. You have forgotten the scene where Jaime and Brienne are trying to find their way to King's Landing together. They come across a few bodies hanging from the trees on the path and then 3 rogues come out of the bushes to meet them. When she draws her sword, she just ruthlessly slaughters all 3 of them in a matter of seconds. I know they are not the best swordsmen obviously, but that scene totally sold me on Brienne's brutality and ruthlessness. There were also a couple clips in there that showed Jaime being taken aback by her power and ferocity, and generally how good of a fighter she was. I am not fixed on her ability to fight and kill all 3 rouges at the same time without getting injured as much as I am to Jaime's reaction of her doing it. Since he obviously is considered one of the best, how he genuinely reacts to her fighting is very significant in my opinion. | ||

Im not sure how great the mountain is tho...he just seems big and strong, wouldnt someone with very good sword fighting technique just run circles around him. oh also he lost that lance battle to the fariy/flower knight, and he lost to brinene (giant lady) and shes not better than those 10-20 guards who caught her and jamie. I guess lance battle is definitely not like a sword fight in battle, but still...i thought it showed that if ur skilled enough, a gap in strength could be overcome. oooh i just remember, who was that guy who went to take a piss at the red wedding, i dont think they've showed anything with him...

It seems that his eye didn't get restored during resurrection. If his organs do not get restored, how can he become resurrected in the first place? If someone stabs him in the liver, he will get resurrected and then he will die again because his liver isn't working. That would also suggest that he cannot fight in kamikaze style, because he could still get maimed permanently. | ||

I assume that the concept of his resurrection is just something that can't be legitimately possible when considering things like that. I am just guessing that the eye thing isn't significant and rather just an idea that is aesthetically linked to the series in order to better illustrate his character. If I understand Thoros correctly, he isn't even sure why the Lord of Light keeps resurrecting him, but he says the words regardless, and he's on his 7th life now I believe. So they both probably don't even understand how or why he keeps bringing him back yet. Perhaps similar to how Bran doesn't fully understand his worging and foresight powers yet, but he keeps learning in little bits and pieces. | ||

My idea is that he lost the eye before finding his god In the Lord of Light. So the Lord just keeps resurrecting him to how he was before he gets officially killed. Basically just reverses time like 20min or whatever to what his previous state was. | ||

Khal Drogo may have been among the best. However, what got him killed was quite reckless showmanship not worthy of the best. | ||

However, what got him killed was quite reckless showmanship not worthy of the best. nope, he wouldnt have died because of that small cut, Danny's priestess killed him (the one who she saved) with infecting the wound. Way to go Danny. Then again, it's hard to tell who is the best fighter, the great swordsman of westeros dont really fought against the styles and weapons of Essos, and vice versa. If anything, u can speculate on a list of Westeros knights/warriors, on which obviously Barristan, Jamie's right hand, Loras, Brienne, Ned Stark, the Mountain, the Hound should be included, based on what we ve seen, but impossible to set a 100% objective order. | ||
