Is Boromir I(11th Steward of Gondor), one of the greatest, if not the greatest warriors Elf or Human? I have found several citations on the net, supposedly from the Appendices of LoTR and they seem to indicate, aside from retaking Ithilien and defeating the first Uruk army, the Witch King feared him.

It's surprising, considering that in Rivendell, only Glorfindel is mentioned with the power to stand openly against the Nazgul. If I am looking at the years right, Boromir confronted him nearly 500 years after Glorfindel's prophecy. It seems interesting that the Witch King, didn't seem cowed by Earnur, even in defeat who was the last King until Aragorn but he did fear a Steward.
