Nah i disagree lol. Moroght was scared of Tulkas. Tulkas made him look like a fool every time. Morgoth was at full power before tulkas wrestled with wasnt he?

I'm not going to get into the above...
But my favourite one on one would be Carcharoth versus Huan. Wolf against wolf, no real victor, y0! Great battle then.

Huan Vs Fluffy????
Huan was a hound from valinor and he was mighty. fluffy was a big three headed dog with not much strength. it would a bit difficult but if he bit off one of his heads would he die? even morgoths dog would beat that over grown three headed puppy.

None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

OK for the sake of this thread not running of topic (and to freshen up the battlefield a little bit) let's toss a Dwarf in there.
We haven't heard much of a Dwarf fighting but I would say that in general Dwarves excel at close combat. How about Dain Ironfoot vs. Aragorn? I forget the exact quote but I think Gandalf said it somewhere about Dain being an unequaled warrior who could still wield an axe at a very late age, and in fact died in battle in his very late years. Also what about the Balrog slayers? Why not seeing Glorfindel vs. Ecthelion? That would be a fight worth buying tickets for. Or Beleg vs. Mablung. Another excellent fight though I think Beleg might have the upper hand. Or MERRY VS. PIPPIN!! C'mon, their skill developement, stature, and experience was almost identical by the end of LotR. It would be an awesome fight!

If its with weapons then i reckon Aragorn might win but fists the dwarf will knock him silly.
Balrog slayers it has to be Ecthelion. he slayed GOTHMOG lord of the balrogs whilst Glorfindol slayed but a normal one. Beleg and Mablung. im gonna have to back Beleg as when turin kills him it says something about him being the mightiest of his kind. and merry vs pippin. i really would have to say merry but thats not a solid back i wouldnt put money on either coz they were so close. Pippin killed a troll. Merry just stabbed the witch king in the leg. How about this one. Helm Hammerhand Vs Beorn?? That would be so cool. Helm was huge!! so dont think Beorn would just crush him. Helm was compared to a snow troll and with his hammer he would be destructive.

I would like to see Gimli take on Thorin okensheild.
Balin Vs Dain Beleg Vs Legolas- i'd say beleg wins and teach legolas a thing or two about bows lol. Aragorn Vs Isuldur-- i'd say aragorn would win. says he was more like elendil then anyother heir and i dont think Isuldur was such a great warrior. Apart from when he took the seeds of the white tree he hasnt impressed me. That all three same kin fights. |

Balin and Dain is a good one, but I'd put my money on Dain. They call him Ironfoot, that's gotta count for something. I also wasn't too impressed by Isildur's skill. He may have been a good general in a pinch but I don't think a kingly life could compare to the life of wandering and border-watching that Aragorn had.

Isn't this a SILMARILLION thread. There seems to be a lot of second and third agers being mentioned. ( That ain't too bad as long as there aren't any new agers)
Would like to see the Dwarf Azaghal vs Turin or Beleg.

Aye, perhaps this should be moved to the Middle Earth forum.
I forget, was Azaghal described as one of the strongest? I know it says he was the greatest and most well-liked dwarf king, and he did injure Glaurung, but other than that we really didn't get to see many in depth accounts of dwarves doing cool things in the first or second ages.
