Na you go need rest.
Jon will defeat any blood rider. Win Jorah's tournament and will probably slay Jorah in single combat.


Based on what precedent?

What duel has Jon actually won?

Ramsay Bolton had to be written completely out of character so that Jon could win.

Qhorin let Jon kill him.

Pip from gin alley was stabbed from behind.

Whitewalker was hit once with a magic sword and shattered into a million pieces

Which duel has Jon actually won as the better fighter, and not due to magic, plot armour, or divine intervention?

I salute you because u normally make good contribution to this thread. But I beg to differ with this point.
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by meforkene(m): 5:47pm On May 04, 2019
Based on what we've watched and what the movie told us, Jon Snow is the greatest fighter. (Tormund and Ramsey confirmed it).

Based on what we've watched alone, Oberyn Martell is wonderful. (The Mountain can't even match his style and confidence. He beat the Mountain hands down...sad episode though). Then that Ser Payne guy that uses 2 swords eh..na him be Oga boss.

But based on our common sense, I don't even think Jon can chance The Hound.

But biko who is Jamie...complete soap man..especially from what we've seen.

Are you still on this? Jon is a great swordsman. He has grown over the course of the show. The fact that they didn't show us one on one duel doesn't mean he is not a great fighter. Please spare us this BS of jonsnow not being a great fighter.

Ned Stark had help in defeating Arthur Dayne. Is he a good or bad fighter.

Which duel has the Mountain won as the better fighter? Is he a good or bad fighter?
What of Arya, Ser Barristan, Jaime, all of them na story.
There are no stories of Jon because we met him as a kid.
How do you think the maesters will write about Jon. A good or bad fighter.

Was Rhaeger Targaryen a good fighter? Remember Selmy and Jorah's conversation.

There is no measure by which a great fighter is determined that Jon will not pass.

Everyone with his or her opinion on this thread. The fact that I'm unable to buy your opinion doesn't mean you should force it to me and my one opinion is wrong. I won't mention some people's sobriquet here. They try to force their opinions on others like they have the best understanding of the show.
Pls if after I give u two or three instances and u still don't buy my opinion which I really respect, it is better to let the conversation die.

Thank you.

Are any of the names you've mentioned here on the list tendered by the original OP?

I'm not quite sure you understand context or English for that matter.

Someone presented a list, and asked who the greatest was on the list.

Nobody has said everybody on that list is not a good fighter.

I can't argue with you on this... because u guys have belittle the night king after ep3...but I remembered at the war council, the so called great fighters gathered together, but none of them said them will help Jon in killing the night king..... They were Soo afraid.... But Jon took the courage even though he wasn't prophecied to kill him... Even cersie knows that if Jon should join Danny for war it would be difficult for her to win the war because they all knew Jon was a great fighter who have won wars and acted as a hero.... that was why she gave a condition during season 7..... This argument shouldn't have started at the first place.....

I said Jon is a good and great fighter. I know what I'm saying and I believe you know what you are saying too. Did we ever see Jon snow run away from a one on one duel with any great opponet/figgter? If yes, then jonsnow is not a great fighter but if NO, he is a great fighter. Shikena.

I am not among those degrading Jon slow fighting ability, I know Jon is great fighter. But I don't like the idea of calling the nightking a good fighter, if the nightking had agreed to face Jon. Jon would have flog him to death

There's zero correlation between the bolded and the night king

The first time we heard that statement on the show, Arya was running away from danger, not towards it.

Mellisandre is also a false prophet who had never actually made any correct predictions prior to that moment, so how she looked was irrelevant.

Lord of light did not tell her anything in this case. She had to rely on a higher power - the God of Plot.
I think you need to watch that scene again. This time with open mind. When the red woman mentioned "blue eyes" Arya got a message and walked away, we could all see the renewed energy in her. She goes straight for the night king.
Me thinks you are getting too cocky about this whole stuff.

Na so dem dey flog.

NK that throws his ice spear like the machine 'Scorpion'. The guy is super strong. About fight, like you didn't see his WW fight Jon in Hardhome, the guy beat that rugged Thenn and Jon like thieves. Yeah Jon won. Who created the WW?

Same time NK knew that Jon would have either killed him or delayed him considerably and he didn't have that time so he just kept him busy by raising the dead.

That is to say Jon is also a great fighter.

You see something about analysis! Too much of analysis about a particular event or thing is very bad and at a point the individual involved in it starts saying rubbiish.

To say the truth, we've all seen this show and still seeing it. When too much of analysis is dropped here every now and then, it becomes very irritatingly irritating most especially when the opinions are dropped in an assertive manner and you automatically haven't seen the show because your opinion is not in alignment with theirs.

I am not gonna unfollow this thread. I almost did but remembered we've still got reasonable chaps here dropping comments and helping us clarify ambiguous happenings as at when due.

-Key word: As at when due!

Exactly. This is the main reason I followed this thread in order to seek more knowledge. But some people are on here that feel they know it all. Hence, they start asserting and rubbing their own parochial and personal understanding of some events on our Face. We won't take that.

I heard somewhere that the nightking might be coming back.

it was a pretty insane theory, especially as the guy suggested there might be a secret 7th episode to air.

it was bonkers but absolutely compelling.
