Aragorn fought off multiple Ring Wraiths I doubt Thorin could do that.
Thorin is elite. Azog is elite. Aragorn is elite. Anyone saying Aragorn stomps Thorin is misinformed.

Aragorn. Longer sword. Obvious reach advantage
Against most opponents, I would say that this is a big factor. But, as I pointed out in another thread, Dwarves have developed a style of fighting that compensates for the reach disadvantage they have against most opponents. Humans, Elves, Uruk-hai, and even some regular Orcs have a greater reach than they do, yet the Dwarves are still formidable opponents in a fight.

Yeah, dwarfs are shorter than pretty much every race in their universe other than hobbits. Pretty sure they learned how to fight taller opponents considering that they're pretty effective fighters as well.
