Jaime Lannister (with both hands) with beat them ALL. It's not even a contest.

Did Brienne of Tarth not rule them all in character and virtue and spirit and bravery too?

Kicked the butts of them that needed it and those that didn't need it weren't pigs.
she beat an out of form Jamie and a sick Gregor clegane, yes her victory against Lora's tyrell was fair but Lora's though a quality swordsman was also a popinjay and a knight of summer or tourney knight, campaigns wear such down

What "growing reputation"? GOT is over. Nothing is growing anywhere.

Jon Snow was a great, honorable man, a true "son" of the great Ned. He was a wonderful leader, and one of the bravest men Westeros had even seen. But honor and bravery is not the same as swordsmanship, not matter how much we wish it.

At his prime, the greatest foes Jon faced where his poorly trained black brothers, even worse poorly trained wildlings, and white walkers - and he had valyrian steel which is complete cheat mode against white walkers.

The one real test of skill Jon faced was when he was younger against Qhorin Halfhand, and even Jon himself admits that Qhorin let him win. At that age, Jaime Lannister was already an established master swordsman and Barristan Selmy was already storming castles all by himself. Jon is a weak, weak comparison.
mind you qhorin halfhand will defeat everyone on that list in a duel no exceptions, so expecting a green Jon snow to defeat him without help is bias analysis, the opportunity to shine in battle young Jamie and selmy had did not come to jon, Jon is terrible as a commander but excellent as a swordsman

Disrespect? Lol .. grin

Even ignoring the books totally, Jon Snow was disarmed by Magnar of Thenn. Compare to what First Sword of Braavos, Syrio Forrel said to Arya about your sword and your arm, and you'll understand what it means for your "one of the greatest" to be disarmed in battle by a wildling that Sandor Clegane will make short work of.

By the end of GoT, King Crow was more battle-hardened and capable enough to hold his own in a melee, but in a class of the greats? Nope.

Go and rewatch Ser Arthur Dayne's fight versus Eddard Stark and his retainers. That's a Great Swordsman looks like.
magnar of then had the size advantage and his weapon the bronze battle axe had the weight and kinetic energy advantage so Jon being disarmed was a given, besides he still won that fight after being disarmed, that's doggedness and combat intelligence, if we are to use ser Arthur dayne as a standard for measurement then nobody else will measure up so belay that comparison

The comparison was only made because someone said Jon is a great swordsman... and proceeded to post his video "evidence" when challenged. Lol

Once upon a time there was a set of twins named taiye and kehinde. Taiye was a boy while kehinde was a girl. The twins lived with their uncle in a small town where they went to school........
