mystickristoff Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not skill but based on just physical strength, was he the strongest? Stronger than The Mountain or Big Jon Umber? Excluding giants like Wun Wun or Mag.. or The Others of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Claude Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think Gregor had him beat in terms of physical strength, while Greatjon was likely his equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystickristoff Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 So he's about The Hound tier in terms of just physical strength then? The Hound is weaker than The Mountain, physically right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystickristoff Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Is Hodor even close to any of these guys? Just based off strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floki of the Ironborn Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 My question is where Dunk and Victarion Greyjoy fit on this scale of strength. Because of Dunk's size and strength, I'd say he could probably out wrestle the Mountain on a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Northman Reborn Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 No. Robert was way outmatched in the strength department by the likes of the Greatjon. The Hound, Andrik, the Mountain etc. are all much larger than Robert, but might still have been a bit young back during the Rebellion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ony one stronger than Robert was the Mountain and maybe the Greatjon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mountain certainly wasn't too young, considering his significant involvement in the Sack. Taking what we can assume were some of the biggest/strongest men in Westeros in the Rebellion, I'd say the Mountain and the GreatJon are the two strongest men in Westeros at the time. Robert, the Hound and maybe Andrik are a step below. Yohn Royce, Gerold Hightower and other Umbers like Crowfood and Whoresbane are a step below Robert etc. Of course there are others, like Tarly, who may be strong enough to be considered and the Crakehall's, but the list above was just a few examples.

BlueNightzx Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 i would say that robert is tied with the hound, but since he killed rhaegar, we can assume that robert was far more skilled in combat and not just a brute, a young rebellion robert would win against the mountain imo, one of the few weapons tat can really hurt a hull armored knight like gregor is the war hammer, and for the accounts of ned, roberts war hammmer was really heavy to the point ned was not even able to lift it.

Trigger Warning Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It has to be Gregor since he's fantasy levels of height and muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrian Blade Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Robert had the whole package, the mountain was stronger but Robert wasn't far behind and he also had skill and speed to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtree Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 No, the mountain is stronger but i think Robert is probably a better fighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cron Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Robert was really strong, though, no doubt. I seem to recall a passage in the books saying Robert's war hammer was so big and heavy that most men couldn't hope to wield it at all, or something like that (shades of Thor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cron Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I think the finalists are Gregor Clegane and Hodor. No way to tell who was stronger, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have any knowledge of why the Cleganes are so big and strong in the current generation? I don't recall for instance Gregor's father being described as near his size.
