In terms of the third age, why is no one mentioning Isildur. Isildur was certainly the greatest man of the third age, it was he who cut the ring from Sauron's hand and it was he who managed to steal a fruit of the white tree in Numenor before it was destroyed, a great feat as he had to get past many of the king's and Sauron's guards. Sure he was corrupted by the ring at the beginning, but wanted to destroy it later on, (mentioned in the Disaster of Gladden Fields in UT). I doubt that anyone could have resisted the ring where Isildur obtained it, on the slopes of Mount Doom where the ring was most powerful.
