re: Jaime vs. Eddard. With Lightsabers. Game of Thrones (Spoilers)

Even though he's old, I still have Barristan Selmy ranked #1. Nothing in the books has shown that the ranking should be otherwise.

The guy is still dynamite.

Syrio Forel...if the crackpot theory that he and Jaqen H'ghar are the same works out

Not only is that a good theory, but you make a pretty good point that Jaquen H'ghar may be the greatest fighter that we know of.

Thinking back, all Arya had to do was name names. Any three names. It didn't matter who. And Jaquen H'ghar would have killed them. He was pretty bad arse in taking Harrenhal and it appears he doesn't even need a weapon to kill, if he is indeed the alchemist.

New Top 5:

Jaquen H'ghar (??? aka Syrio, aka alchemist, aka Pate ????)
Robert Strong
Bronn
Strong Belwas
Brienne

Although, I'm not sure that Syrio = Jaquen. GRRM was asked this question. An his answer was somewhat vague. However, he did imply that Syrio, great as he was, could not have survived that fight. (Which could mean anything, coming from GRRM).
