Y impression on reading the Silm was that the only good thing about being a man was that you could die and leave Ea. Legolas had a pretty large bow and could string it and nock an arrow faster than the eye could see. That takes both dexterity and strength. Glorfindel killed Gothmog(? or a Balrog at least)although admittedly he was an elf Lord. My personal opinion is that Legolas could have thrown Boromir around if he could have got close enough...
