I think Khal Drogo. Mountain was just big and powerful that's why men feared him but I don't think as a knight, skill-wise he was all that. You don't need skill when you're 8 feet tall and weigh 500 lbs of rippling muscle n/h. Robert Baratheon in his prime could have beaten the Mountain. He slayed Rhaegar Targaryen in a 1 on 1 fair and square.
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 Tarth
4. Loras Tyrell
5. The Hound/Sandor Clegane (unlike his brother he was renowned for being as skillful as he was powerful and imposing)
5. Syrio Forel*
6. Oberyn Martell
7. Khal Drogo
8. The Mountain
9. Jorah Mormont
10. Qhorin Halfhand
* Baristan & Jaime are interchangeable I think if Baristan was Jaime's age it might be a diff't story
(before yall hate on Syrio - he's from Braavos and the "water dancing" is a versatile and a feared style in the books. Also in the books, in Braavos, men who have their swords out at night can be challenged to a duel at anytime. It's actually apart of their culture and they do it to see whose the best. The fact that Syrio is as old as he is and still alive means he had to have been nice af. he did beat several knights with a wooden sword)
As of right now:
1. Brienne of Tarth
2. Loras Tyrell
3. Bronn
4. Jorah Mormont
5. Jon Snow (my son)
@Sion are you high or I am? In the books as well as on the show, Ned never took an L so what gives?
Wait I never said Ned took an L.... where'd I say that ? I must be losing my mind LOLOL
Yo the Jon Snow shit I'm just joking, I'm just playin LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I'm saying he deserves a spot on the list
Shit you might be right, dayum I forgot about him I never think of Eddard when I think of the best swordsmen but true say he's made his bones.
Sion hit it on the head. Ned isn't considered a great swordsmen like Syrio, Jamie, Barristan, Sir Loras, and Rhaegar, but he's capable.
Ned's a big dude and his sword ice was melted down to make two different blades, so on the battlefield he's no joke.
Robert Barretheon was apparently one of the trillest warriors to live before he got on that shit.
The Mountain just has size, I think Sandor leaves him leaking in a fair one. Brienne has that size thing too "that's a huggggeeeeeeee bitch."
In the books when asked about fighting Sandor, Jamie says in so many words "he would run."
Jorah is no joke, his swordsmanship is renowned.
The half-hand was trill as fuck, people knew about Qhorin, but he had to take that L to Jon in order to preserve humanity.
I'm leaving other people out, but they aren't really relevant to the show.
Khal Drogo and Tormund "last of the Mohicans" Giantsbane would be a trill fight.
And Bronn is known to be nice, but like Loras it's because he's clever.
