Moroght, and his servants, seem to have a habit of breaking people (psycologically) with their gazes, (eyes = windows to souls?) whereas Gil-Galad etc may have avoided his gaze and concentrated fully on military victory.

True. It was an all out physical battle. It seems from Tolkien's account of the fight that Sauron's only purpose was to kill Gil and Elendil. He was surrounded and his forces were defeated and he knew his day of victory had to be postponed, so he decided to run out and give Gil and Elendil a big hug before he was physically destroyed. Pretty mean guy. "I'm about to lose, but I'll take out both of their beloved kings before I leave."
And all Isildur did was cut the ring from Sauron's hand after Sauron was on the ground.
There's a difference between fighting Sauron in a war and being in a room with him by yourself. I remember the quote that your basing your post on, rudeboy, and I believe that it said no mortal could withhold the ring from Sauron if he came and asked for it after they had claimed it for themselves.
