10 Game Of Thrones Warriors Who Could Defeat The Mountain
7. Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane
"Hate is good as any to keep a person going, better than most."
Despite recent efforts at changing, Sandor Clegane is every bit the killer that his brother is. Though not as big or as brutal as his older brother, Sandor still has a special talent for the letting of blood, gutting his first opponent in combat when he was only twelve. Other than Oberyn, Sandor Clegane has more motivation than anyone for killing his hateful brother.
In the past, his loyalty to the crown has prevented him from exacting his revenge - now he has no affiliation with a house, The Hound is free to act as he pleases. He may not have the insane power or strength of The Mountain, but Sandor's imposing size means he is more than capable of instantly inflicting a fatal wound.
Forever being the younger child who grew up being savaged by the psychotic Gregor has likely fortified Sandors resolve, meaning that he is the mentally stronger of the two siblings. His slightly smaller stature may not necessarily be such a disadvantage anyway. We saw in his fight with the Red Viper how effective speed is against The Mountain and - though he is nowhere near as fast as the Dornish prince - The Hound is certainly more rapid than Gregor. Meanwhile his hate and desire to win would help overcome any weaknesses, and give him the CleganeBowl victory. Get hype.
