Anyone?

I doubt even Melkor could.

Lets not even bring any version of Sauron into this conversation, Eonwe would destroy him.

Anyway, in a contest of hand to hand or with weaponry no other Maia could defeat him. This is explicit. Sauron was probably more powerful, but he was a relatively average hand to hand combatant.

So I guess Tulkas. Tulkas would body him with absolutely no effort.

I dunno about that. He is directly compared with Tulkas, tbh.

I know Tulkas is said to be the mightiest in terms of strength, but Eonwe is said to be the best with weapons in all of Arda.

I know, in terms of feats, Tulkas should theoretically take it, but its far more complicated then that due to the accolades.

If you are talking purely skill and nothing else then Eonwe might take it, but Tulkas has such an insane advantage in raw physical might that any small gap in skill would be rendered completely irrelevant.
