Good point. I'll put the hound over him.

I'm pretty much trumping Ser Barristan up off his rep plus the one time he picked up a sword and put the fear of God in those Kingsguards' faces. That is the only time we really saw him come close to fighting, right?

I can't help but wonder what Bronn's rep would be if he had a famous last name, tho.


im not that impressed with bronn. the only times we saw him fight where against some hill tribesman who never held a proper sword in their lives and against a knight where all bronn did was run til he tired him out. even bronn himself, when lysa was like "u fight with no honor!" he was like "nope. he did."

id say bronn is very good but i wouldnt put him up there with the likes of barristan and the hound or jamie.

You also saw him fight at Blackwater and helped make short work of Robb's 2000, tho they don't show it. :yeshrug:

I repeat, we haven't seen anyone on the show do what Bronn did, which is defeat a knight in full plate armor while being unarmored.

Ser Vardis was one of the Vale's best knights. He was Jon Arryn's captain of the guards. And he was covered in steel. What Bronn did borders on the superhuman.

Remember this fight? Armor makes a huge difference. Jorah is only an average fighter, and Qotho was one of Khal Drogo's "blood of my blood", one of the best fighters the Dothraki had. And despite being clearly outmatched, Jorah made short work of him.

Reason why I put Meryn is it's implied at least that he killed Syrio and that he's one of the best tournament fighters. There's plenty theory on other forums, and what I believed before was Syrio=Jaqen, but based on timeline evidence I don't see that being the case anymore.

I think I let some of the book clouds my judgements on Loras though because he says he's not a strong fighter as he is a jouster. But dude got bodied by The Mountain when he was getting charged, has never engaged in any other combat and is never been implied that he's a strong fighter.

When it comes to Bronn, cunning is a factor in what makes a great warrior imo.

Let's also not forget Jaime took down one of Ned's best knights in 2 moves.

I'm gonna go with Drogo. Best combo of strength, skill, speed. We know he can avoid taking hits so I don't think the armor is much of an issue. Bronn showed us that armor has weak points and knights get tired out. Khal's are constantly tested in battle and Drogo was undefeated until titty scars.

It's Drogo for me :yeshrug:

the mountain 1
the hound 1a
khal drogo 2
barristan selmy 3(he would be 1 if he was younger)
red viper 4
jamie lannister 5

the mountain and the hound are shaq and wilt chamberlain in their prime. nobody fukking with them not even a little bit. the mountain fukking holds a 2 handed greatsword with 1 hand! the hound the only one that can take him but thats only cause he hates him so much.

everybody else is second tier.

barristan selmy and jamie could have probably killed him in their prime but thats about it.

Jon Snow sky rockets close to the top after that last episode. No doubt he could hang with Jaime and Bronn.

Styr vs Robert in his prime would be a pretty intense match.

Jormund not only makes the list, but also maybe breaks top tier. Jormund vs Khal Drogo would be close to call.

Thorne put in work also, should replace Meryn Trant on this list.

I'd say it's between Jaime,Prime Robert and Hound. Prime Robert sounds likethe definition of a beast, swung a warhammer ned couldn't even pick up.
