Gandalf because he has power that none of the others have.

It depends on what you mean by 'fighter'. If you mean who is the charcter who has the ability to destroy the most phsyical beings, it would have to be Gandalf. If you're asking who I think destroyed the most evil, it would have to be someone not on your list - Frodo and Gollum.

it depends on what sort of circumstances you are talking about, fighting is different styles... as much as i would like to say Aragorn and Gimli in malay i think it would be Elrond and as for wiping out the most i would say probably Elrond again then again if you were saying who could wipe out the most people Gandalf it is...
i always argue with a friend of mine about Lord carachters against Blade and god he is fighting a losing battle there

Gandalf.
But if you mean fighting with sword and physical strength it would be harder...still Gandalf perhaps

Aragorn! He's the MAN! The king Supreme! Magic doesn't count as fighting. (for me! ) Strider/Aragorn is who I'd go running to !

Gandalf; Gandalf; Gandalf. Nuff said.

I don't mean to be rude Lizra, but the magic of LotR is not like fireballs, lightning bolts, etc. It's much more subtle. The only time that we know Gandalf used specifically "attack" magic, it wasn't even anything like this; he hurled flaming pinecones. At least, that I know of...

Hmm. For fighting with sword, obviously Aragorn. Melée, also Aragorn. Axe fighting, Gimli or any of the dwarves. Long-distance archery, Legolas, Elrond, or any of the elves. Magical attacks would be Gandalf (or any of the Istari).

I'd put my money on Elrond in a sword fight (yup even over Aragorn).

For sheer unkillability, it has to be Gandalf

Then...hm...either Legolas or Elrond...Elrond strikes me as more of a lord than a fighter...then again, he was at the Last Alliance (which wasn't really at Helm's Deep). So I would just have to say one or the other, and not which. Probably Elrond, but I'm not sure.

Elrond. He's an ELF, he has powers against evil, and that's the only thing he'd fight.

Gandalf was an emissary - he wasn't allowed to work directly against the forces of evil, so to speak.

That said, I think the best fighter was Turin.()

Why isn't Glorfindel on the list? I bet he could kick some serious butt.
