It's rather sketchy as to whether Sauron kicked a lot of butt before he 'wrestled' with Gil-Galad and Elendil whom he slain and was 'thrown down' in the process. It was at this point that Isildur ran (or snuck) up and cut the ring off of his finger.<P>IF, Sauron had engaged anybody prior to meeting Gil-Galad and Elendil (and it's quite likely he bumped into a few people before running into them), he probably tore threw them in a similiar fashion to what PJ shown. Perhaps not AS easily, but that's open for debate.<P>He was able to take out Gil-Galad and Elendil at the same time though, which cannot be overlooked. Either of these guys would of trashed any man or elf we see on the battlefields in the movies, more then likely mowing through hosts of them. The status of these guys cannot be overlooked as I imagine a lot of people might casualy do when thinking, "oh, he took out two people but they took him out in the process?", etc. They weren't ordinary, run-of-the-mill fighters.
