    @ desertrain10


    Good ? . I can see that. I don't recall the united militia thing and you are absolutely right about the kings consent. Guess my biases towards the Lannisters blinded me. Coupled withntye fact that Ned was his boy, ? his brother from another. Ned went to war no questions so I figured anyone wild do the same for their ace regardless of who it was against. Ned's wife did wan him that the king wasn't the same friend from long ago though. Still think he should have sided with Ned though.

    Well they do make Loras out to be a young Jaime. Vicky with the skill to back it up. Plus he did do some trill ? over Renly's death and at dragonstone.

    I like the dude from dorne with axe that protects the prince. Surprised a black dude is playing him.

    Also I think oberyn should be number three. He'd give the hound the same work he gave the mountain. And the only reason Brienne is as good as she is, is because people underestimate her because she is a woman. They tired themselves out trying to end ? quickly. They wouldn't take that tactic against a man her size. Oberyn wouldn't make that mistake. In dorne women are respected as warriors as well.

    There is speculation that a certain female character will show, but I doubt it.

    My list of the Best Fighters In Westeros (REDONE)

    My tier list for best swordsmen in GoT from the beginning of the show would look like this:

    1. Jaime Lannister
    2. Ser Baristan "The Bold" Selmy*
    3. Brienne of Hands
    4. The Hound/Sandor Clegane
    5. Oberyn Martell
    6. Syrio Forel
    7. The Mountain
    8. Eddard Stark
    9. Bronn
    10. Tormund Giantsbane



    - I changed Loras' position b/c true say we don't really know the true extent of his skill, just that he dropped the Mountain and Jaime Lannister in a joust. In terms of sheer skills they never really say for sure.


    - can't gauge for sure if Jorah is a better knight than Ned Stark but in some instances in the first 3 books, I think I have cause to take him off the list and replace him with Ned.


    - Nothing against Bronn sure he was good with knights but I'm giving Ned the edge for his work during Robert's Rebellion, including getting past Rhaegar's Kingsguard and Arthur Dayne (albeit having more men), Arthur Dayne is said to be one of the greatest swordsman in Westeros, with his sword - "The Sword of Morning" GOAT name for a sword.

    I'm not a book reader but I have read some wiki so I'm just spit balling here. I don't think ned should be in anyone's top ten list, because it was stated that Brandon (The Wild Wolf), Ned's older brother was the sword fighter in the family. In fact it indirectly states that Ned was only average. And Ned states that Arthur Dayne would have killed him if it wasn't for Howland Reed.

    8. Loras Tyrell
    9. Bronn
    10. Tormund Giantsbane


    ^^^ I'm a finalize the list as this, yo you right about the Hound/Mountain and Oberyn, The Hound would have had to be 10x the fighter the Mountain was and I don't think he was THAT far ahead of The Mountain as a fighter. ? hating on Loras b/c he's ? but regardless the man has proven his worth.

    My only criticism of Oberyn not being ahead of Brienne is because Brienne still outclassed the Hound and beat the holy hell out of him and left him for dead. Straight ? his ? up good ? . With swords she seemed to knock his out of his hand quite easily. And she dropped Loras too. Brienne deserves that top 3. She would likely get one over the Mountain too for the reasons @gem$tone stated. Oberyn is tricky tho b/c he could be #1 when you factor in the poison. It's not like Jaime or Ser Baristan wouldn't sustain at least a flesh wound.

    How can you not have the Hoffhand on your list? The wildlings used to tell scary stories to their children as cautionary tales. They made that guy seem like a mid-evil Freddy Kreuger.

    At 3:00, you see how they all look up when Ygritte mentions that Snow killed the Halfhand? They were like WTF?!

    From a non book readers POV, Oberyn should def be top three. Mad short work of the Mountain before hubris took him, a common theme on GoT

    Lol

    Making this list is too difficult. You'd have to ? on other people's skills. Like Daario took out two captains, he might give Bronn that work. They are both crafty sellswords. Even thought I wish they would have let Bronn and the hound spar a little. He told him he might be smaller but he's quicker, then squared up like he bout that action. Lol



    Then you have Tormound. Nice as I think he was, he didn't wear armor and I think armor is the only advantage most would have ? with Khal Drogo.

    And grey worm ain't no push over either. Him and the other two took out like fifty sellswords.


    ? is difficult

    Man I'd love to have seen Drogo fight someone credible. Jorah was very weary of him though, that's sayin' sutten. I'm confident Drogo could take Jorah.

    Daario though he's no mug. Grey worm too. Ahhh it's tough. I'll come with my own top 10 after I check this ting. She's nice fam. Moroccan

    She reminds me of a Rocky. The technique may not be as great as some of her enemies but brute strength and an unmatched will to win carry her over.

    Funny coz she probably wouldn't be anyway near as good a fighter if she were a dude. There'd be nothin' pushin' her. The Hound v Brienne was one of the dopest fights I've seen. Must have been amazin' for Arya to watch

    Don't know if I can cosign Brienne being above Selmy. Nor Tormound over Drogo. Otherwise, good ? .

    I put Brienne over Barristan simply because he was older. Barristan wasnt in his prime. If he was, I would put him at No. 1. To me Tormund and Drogo are interchangeable. But Drogo died of a cut. Tormund had three arrows stuck in him and was still trying to fight.
