Achilles vs Leonidas
Agamennon knows not to piss off the Spartans, since he and his brother knows them by their reputation and their love for battle.
However, Achilles defies Agamennon's orders and heads to Sparta alone. The son of the goddess Thestis wants to fight the Spartan King Leonidas in a honorable duel.
In Sparta, Achiiles encounters Queen Gorgo and with respect, asks if he can challenge to Spartan King to a duel of swords and spears. When Leonidas hears about the challenge, his blood is ablaze as he grabs his sword, spear and shield, eager for this battle between a warrior as legendary as Achilles.
This battle can only be won by KO.

Anyways if there was a duel between the two movie characters,
Leonidas was quite a brutal individual, in his prime he was by far the best fighter of the 300, but the way he fought was completely deferent from how Achilles fights.
From what I've seen, Achilles is a wussy who never got manhandled, Leonidas seemingly never got mad, but had a secret side that when you pissed him off, he'd show a clever and suppressed anger, "Madness? This is Sparta!" "You don't know our wemon, perhaps I should have marched them up here from what I've seen." And right before he died he pretty much told Xerxes to kiss his ass.
Achilles was very emotional, and didn't have a clever anger, but a disoriented anger, when his Patriclus died he didn't know who the bad guy was, and focused his rage on Hector, Leonidas keeps a cool and smart anger, he knows who he should be mad at.
That being said, Leonidas got scratched and battle scarred, broken and bruised, but kept coming back for more, where as Achilles never had a single scratch on his flesh, no one could touch Achilles, Achilles put little effort into fighting, and Leonidas put a lot of effort into fighting, Achilles is the sort that doesn't need to try, that doesn't need a lesson to win, and Leonidas is. Which means that Achilles is an adapt fighter, he is quick to think in the moment, but never looks past, he focuses everything he has, he puts all of his attention into fighting, to the point where he doesn't know who he's fighting, and doesn't care.
Achilles would plow through Leonidas like butter.

I was suprised that real people had the knowledge and understanding of sword and shield fighting to come up with what Achilles did.
He was unstoppable, he follows many rules that Wrestlers need to be national champs, he strategized to the point where he didn't use much strength, hell I don't know if he had strength, because he was never put to the test. He didn't think about anything but his next move, he followed perfect action reaction harmony, 'Wow, that didn't work, lets see what this does'
there was always a next move for him, when I wrestle, I know there's something to do to avoid a move, but I can't think of it, Achilles can.
