Had Ned and Jaime Actually Fought in the Book, who ya got?

Idk, I think it would've lasted a long...long time. In the end I really really wanna say Ned and think that it would've been one for the ages. But in the end I think Jaime would've won. But make no mistake, I think that Ned could pull one out of his arse.
Also, I read online that Ned made Jaime back down once before then. I'm in the third book, can't remember this happening. Is this true?
And yes, I know that they never actually fought in the book.

I think Jaime would have carved him up, personally.

No chance would Ned have won.. Oh and wrong board.

Jaime was one of the best swordsman around. I don't think Ned could have swung Ice quick enough.

Jaime was the best fighter in Westeros. Would've destroyed Ned
Ned did beat Arthur Dayne but he barely made it out of that one. And that's when he was in his prime.
But only The Mountain and oberyn martell could've even given Jaime a challenge
And wrong board NERD

My thing is, Ned has faced more battles than Jaime. You don't get through that many battles if you're not a skilled combatant.

I see what you're saying, but Ned's most famous victory was a situation in which he enjoyed a 7-3 advantage, and he STILL barely survived.
By his own admission he would have died in one on one combat against Dayne, who many believe to be Jaime's equal or at least close.

Ned was half retarded, so he eventually would have stabbed himself

I know this is stated many times in the book and in the show, but we never really get a good firsthand look at it. (I've only read to the end of book 3 - where the show stops.)
We at least get a look inside Jaime's head in book 3, but I would have loved to see more proof of Jaime's skill on display in the show. That's what was so refreshing about Oberyn - we finally get to see a badass fighter who actually fights like a badass fighter.

Jaime would have eaten Ned alive. Doubt it would have taken Jaime more than a minute to kill him on a one on one duel. Ned wasn't really all that known for his physical prowless, while really only Barristan Selmy could really compete with Jaime.

Is there a book reading board?

Yeah I thibk Jaime would win too. But that's nothing against my boy Ned. It would've been a good fight.
Now if each had an army to command I think Ned's army would win. He was one of the best tacticians in Westeros and never lost when he went to battle.
Well except for that whelp of a whore Cersei.

I don't think Ned really went to the front lines. I'm guessing he commanded more from the rear, not in the heat of things like Robert, Jaime, and the Mountain did. I'd take Ned over Jaime managing an army, but not in a one on one sword fight.

Ned would have been beaten soundly and it would not have taken all that long. Ned was no expert swordsman. His talent was strategy, government, and command. Jamie was the vastly superior swordsman.

Jaime would've won

The Mountain and the Hound could.
ETA: Oberyn Martell would have put up a good fight as well. That scene in the books and show pissed me off...

This thread made me want to talk GoT so I started a spinoff thread on the Movie Board
Also, did book readers lose their shite when Jaime and Ned started to duel on screen? The show was only 3 or 4 episodes in at that point if I recall. We didn't really know how much they were going to deviate from the source material yet. Having Ned and Jaime fight at that point probably seemed like a HUGEEE difference at first.
I think they resolved it well, and I personally liked the scene a lot, FWIW.

Single combat, Kingslayer, no doubt. But, Ned is the guy you want to lead you into battle. Ned was a ruler, a just king. Jaime, before his transformation, a spoiled, entitled killing machine. I think there are good things in store for Jaime, and I am hoping he continues on to his road to redemption - without giving away to many spoilers to you guys who haven't gotten through the whole thing.
And Ned and Jaime briefly sparred at the end of Game of Thrones (first book) and Ned is speared in the calf by one of the Kingsguard before he is taken captive, though I am fuzzy on whether this was TV series only or both TV and book.
