Well. That 'dog' was one of the mightiest hounds of Oromë. Perhaps Huan could have killed Ecthelion in a fight. Who knows? He is a dog, yes, but he's a powerful Wolf-hound.

Either way, I think Gothmog was more, er, 'courageous' than Sauron. I wold say Sauron relies more on wiles than strength. Gothmog, on the other hand, relies on war tactics and brute strength. So, in my opinion, Gothmog would win.
