[the phantom]

Tuor and Sauron are both heavy hitters. I'm sad to see them matched up in the first round. Oh well- a decision must be made.

Tuor was a good person, and certainly achieved stature through his wisdom and might. But let's be honest here... Sauron destroyed the most powerful civilization man ever built (Numenor).

And if that wasn't enough, then he brought about the death of Gil Galad, the death of Elendil, coordinated the fall of the kingdom of Arnor, and very nearly took over the world!

The only reason why Sauron didn't take over all of Middle Earth was divine intervention. Remember folks, Frodo failed to destroy the Ring. Sauron won. But then Eru stuck his hand in and whoops- Gollum trips into the lava. And Gandalf, the greatest mover against Sauron, was dead and gone, but Eru sent him back with a power boost.

In other words, God himself had to step in and give the good guys a helping hand to beat Sauron. That's pretty darn dominating.

And lastly, without Sauron there would be no Tol-In-Gaurhoth, i.e. NO WEREWOLF GAMES on the Downs!! I think that was his greatest act.
