Would take those 3 into battle before i took the best swordman battle yes, but when peopl talk about best fighter, they usually mean in a 1v1 duel scenario, who would win. Archers dont really rank on those lists, since a duel between a swordsman and an archer would be the most boring thing ever, the archer has 1 shot, if the other dodges, deflects, GG. If not, GG | ||

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. But he it physically no different from other people, i.e. has no magical regenerating powers by himself, it is the fire god who resurrects him. I can imagine that the fire god restores everything that he needs to be alive and kicking (e.g. liver), but not everything needed to look pretty. | ||

They had to give him some scars to show the resurrection isn't perfect and what's better than a scar that makes you look badass. | ||

One of the people he was referring to was Barristan. No question about that. I believe that the other two are The Mountain and The Hound. As for Bronn or whoever being able to take them, I dunno. Bronn was ready to fight two Kingsguard at once last season so he clearly is no slouch. But, he relies mainly on his smarts and I think if you were the just chuck him in a circular arena with either Clegane, he'd lose. Ned Stark was obviously a fantastic swordsman as well. I think people are overrating Drogo a bit, he's a beast but IIRC he has no experience battling trained, armored swordsmen. | ||

Idk there are a lot of broken fighting style in where drogo grew up and to maintain dominance in that land would mean he is no joke. And as far as i remember the knights in westeros doesn't go YOLO 1 vs 1 all the time. While if IIRC dothrakis go YOLO 1v1 all the time and drogo is dominating at that. Although i would say Jaime is good but not the best. In westeros the hound and clegane definitely. | ||

I'd like to add that the weapon Drogo uses (arakh I believe) is completely useless against an armored foe as Jorah stated in one of the past episodes. And him being a reckless Dothraki warrior, he wouldn't use a sword. He would have no chance against a great swordsman with armor. | ||

And Arakhs might not penetrate breastplate, but those armors have weak points, plus u could disarm a warrior or get him down on his back, without scratching his armor. And then he s dead, pretty much | ||

And then he s dead, pretty much With cavalry they are much more useful for sure. I was thinking in 1on1 though. You have a point in that Drogo could probably bring a man down with his agility and skill, but I doubt he could disarm/bring down someone like Mountain for example. He's massive and wearing armor. You could argue though that Mountain wouldn't be able to land a hit on Drogo because he's slow. It's debatable. | ||

It is like Huk saying he has top 3 control  | ||

Maybe he's just a weird reanimated thing and not really alive. | ||
