Do you have a quote? I remember him just saying that Gregor's fast too.

Well, he is not overwhelmed by Sandor in their fight and he is a succesful jouster, so there is definitely some talent.

If anyone's interested in further match-ups, here's Round 2

Robb Stark vs. Jon Snow

Dunk vs. Brienne of Tarth

Jason Mallister vs. Hosteen Frey

Areoh Hotah vs. Balon Swann

Garlan Tyrell vs. Gerold Hightower

Robb Stark vs Jon Snow: Jon

Brienne vs Dunk: I'll say Brienne for now. She definitely can beat the Dunk we've read about, who is rather unimpressive at the moment.

Jason Mallister vs Hosteen Frey: Jason Mallister. Hosteen is formidable, but not smart enough. A decent matchup, but Walder Rivers would've been a better foe.

Hotah vs Balon Swann: This one is the toughest to call. Both are formidable. I'll wait for winds to decide this. If Swann manages to give Darkstar, Hotah, and Obara and tough fight while outnumbered, I'll give it to him.

Garlan Tyrell vs Gerold Hightower: Garlan. The Old Bull was likely never as good as Sandor, who I believe Garlan is/was on par with.

Jason Mallister

Areo Hotah (that one might actually happen, but i wouldn't discount Balon entirely, he'd definitely put up a fight)

Garlan Tyrell

The hound because of armor and a big fucking sword.

The red viper because Jaime did not rape and kill Elia.

Gregor Clegane because of his reach

Edward Stark because of valyrian steel

Arthur Dayne because Dawn

Thoros of Myr because there is a reason he wins tourney melees against people like these

Bronn because he would bait Loras into a trap from having watched his moves.

Why do you guys give Thoros so much credit, he is a priest... yes he has used magic, but it is not lke he is ghrieing fireballs. Jorah is an experienced knight. Thoros stands no chance.

Robb vs Jon: definetly Jon. First, it is mentioned that is the better sword and Robb the better lance, second: Practice. Robb may have been near the front in his battles, but battle combat is different to a duel. And most of his battles took place on horseback. Jon has been mostly fighting in skirmishes afoot and with just a few fighters, so he is probably more used to 1 on 1.

Jon Snow because valyrian steel

Brienne of tarth because valyrian steel

Jason Mallister because he has successfully repelled an iron born invasion on his fathers lands.

Areo Hotah because you don't sleep with a battle axe and not know how to use it.

The white bull because he is the white bull.

Dayne vs Selmy is a toss-up if they have the same weapon.

If Dayne is armed with dawn he wins.

As for the round 2.

Robb Stark vs. Jon Snow

Dunk vs. Brienne of Tarth

Jason Mallister vs. Hosteen Frey

Areoh Hotah vs. Balon Swann

Garlan Tyrell vs. Gerold Hightower

How are so many choosing Garlan over gerold?

Because it's never mentioned that he's a legendary fighter. Jaime mentions his loyalty, but not his fighting ability. Of course, given the high standard of Aerys' Kingsguard, he probably was pretty good, but it's never said that he's near the very top, as Garlan is.

With all due proviso that statues don't fall on people, swords breaking, ships shifting underneath, the usual armour and weaponry etc:

Khal Drogo vs. Sandor Clegane - Sandor Clegane, armor wins vs. unarmored, every time

Oberyn Martell vs. two handed Jaime Lannister - Jaime, the man was a one-in-a-million talent

Gregor Clegane vs. Robert Baratheon - Gregor is a monster, who pretty much would win vs. anyone

Eddard Stark vs. Beric Dondarrion - With scant information about either of them, I'll give it to Ned, on account of having the magic sword

Barristan Selmy vs. Arthur Dayne (both in their prime) - Answered by GRRM himself: Arthur Dayne wins because of Dawn

Jorah Mormont vs. Thoros of Myr - Thoros on foot, Jorah mounted

Bronn vs. Loras Tyrell - Loras, Bronn is nothing but an overrated merc.

This is brilliant, I love this stuff.

Sandor beats most fighters hands down, Khal Drogo would definitely need armor before he even stood a chance

Two handed Jaime gets my vote. Swordsman beats spearman all day any day IMO.

I think the mountain wins against almost anyone. He's a tank basically. Robert would need to be on horse back to stand a chance.

Eddard would beat Beric especially wielding 'Ice'. I don't doubt it'd be close. Plus I love our Ned.

I would say Arthur Dayne but I'm not sure how he died. Both he and Selmy are 'legendary' so I can't see there being a wrong answer to that. Selmy doesnt have a fancy sword so... nope can't call it.

Ser Jorah? No idea but I like Ser Jorah more.

Loras is a renown swordsman but Bronn is a crafty bugger! I'll go with Loras. Younger faster and better trained I believe.

i'll agree with what seems to be the main consenus for most of the match ups - easiest call is Loras over Bronn, hardest has to be Ned vs Beric: A guy described as compentant vs a man who's mostly known for losing fights.

No chance? Thoros isn't just some priest he was the first through the breach in Pyke, you know ahead of Mormont. He's won dozens of melees where Jorah won one tourney and failed at all the others. Hell Thoros has beaten Sandor several times, yes he had the firey sword advantage but so did Beric and that didn't stop Clegane.
