Oh, and by the way:
This is an extract from an interview to Martin. The Greatjon ain't in this tournament but...yeah, this monstrous warrior lord from the North is perhaps physically stronger than both Robert and the Hound.
Honestly, reading on the kind of preparation Oberyn put up for the Moutain, the spear, the dodging and tiring of Gregor, then the hit, repeat etc.
...and then you have the Hound holding off an enraged Gregor, parrying his blows. Right until Robert shouted to stop.
Sandor be like:
Some minutes again I listened to the Mountain vs Oberyn fight and Oberyin put up a true masterclass performance. Really, one of the best fights ever written by George.
That being said. Brienne isn't the Mountain. And for this reason, she is a dangerous opponent here in different ways. She would...
Swords are pretty much the standard in Asoiaf when it comes to any type of 1v1 fight. Martin really focuses on the portrayal of the fighter rather the weapons. Sword, mace, warhammer, spear or else, it doesn't really matter.
And most of the legendary warriors in Westeros were swordsmen. Daemon...
Whatever else he was, as far as fighting prowess goes, Cole was a monster.
I didn't write this in the other post but shortly before his death, Cole challenged Ser Garibald Grey, Ser Pate of Longleaf and Roderick Dustin (who was still considered a savage warrior) to a 1v3. They refused and...
Oh oh, I like this match:steef:
I'll preface that my answer is Criston.
First, the Mountain. An almost 8 foot titan, likely the strongest human warrior that we know of, Jaime singles out his strenght as inhumane. He's also more agile than one would expect for someone of that size. And he's not...
It would be interesting to have Maegor vs Robert here. Both Kings, both built like a bull, both liked to beat the shit out of their opponents in melees and such.
Consider that Arthur vs the Smiling Knight was a "prolonged" exchange. Though we don't really know to how much time it would have amounted here.
At least, Gwayne Corbray with a Valyrian sword definitely would have been a better fighter than the Smiling Knight. Lol.
If you completely buy Daemon's hype, without believing of it having been somewhat exaggerated, then Gwayne Corbray is without a doubt one of the craziest fighters in the entire lore.
Daemon Blackfyre defeating Gwayne Corbray in an hour could work either for or against him.
For: Daemon Blackfyre was an utterly insane warrior who even had ungodly amounts of stamina. Gwayne Corbray was an utter freak himself for doing this himself.
Against: It took Daemon 1 whole hour to...
So, Aemon vs Gerold is already over😂, but anyway I would bet on Aemon. Possibly the most famous knight, wielder of Dark Sister. Now Gerold is also an elite Kingsguard, held in high regard by the likes of Jaime, so this can't be an easy match at all. The Dragonknight for the W.
This one I...
