Originally posted by NemeBroHe also stated show Ned would beat prime Jaime, so Ned should be on the list.
The fat man said that a fight between Dayne and Selmy in their primes would be a stalemate, with Dayne's sword tipping the scales, but he never said they were the two best fighters.IIRC he once listed a few people he considered the overall best fighters in the show (I think he compared them to professional athletes compared to their peers). IIRC Jaime (with hand), Gregor, Sandor, Barristan, Oberyn and Loras made the list.
Dayne flat out stomped Ned too, so I'd put him above all of the show characters.
