[Lord of Angmar]

I think that Faramir was probably the best fighter (in addition to be the best leader) of all of them. He had keen, far-seeing eyes, an Elvish wisdom about him, and he was very strong and of noble line. Eomer and Gimli come in second in my opinion. The fact that a short fat Dwarf with an axe could kill as many orcs as a great Elven archer (Legolas) is enough to make Gimli on par with Eomer's obviously awesome fighting abilities. Theoden would have been a good fighter in his prime, but was weaker as an old man so has a decided disadvantage. Orcs never seem to be good pure fighters, which is why there always must be far more orcs than Men, Dwarves or Elves for orcs to win the battle. Along this line of thinking, I would place Ugluk last among them all. This is a very strange selection of people to rate, and I should say that it is hard to do it accurately beyond one's own suppositions, since few of them are really measured against one another in the books.
