10 Game Of Thrones Warriors Who Could Defeat The Mountain
4. Jaime Lannister (With Both Hands)
"People have been swinging at me for years and they always seem to miss."
Whatever your opinion is of his oath-breaking or his peculiar relationship with his twin sister, the swordsmanship of Tywin Lannister's eldest son cannot be questioned. Prior to Locke cleaving-off his sword hand, Jaime was widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in Westeros. Indeed, Jaime had the honour of being made the youngest member in the history of the prestigious knightly order of the Kingsguard at just fifteen-years-old, after showing considerable bravery and skill in battle.
Though until the death of Robert Baratheon, Jaime was little more than a valet in the palace for the drunken King, we have still seen flashes of Jaimes undeniable ability: his scrap with Ned stark, his unsettling murder of cousin Alton Lannister while captured, and his battle with Brienne of Tarth all demonstrate the Lions ability in combat.
When facing The Mountain, Jaime would be able to use his exceptional swordsmanship and footwork to avoid the instantly fatal attacks of Gregor and - like the Red Viper - chip away at the granite Mountain until he fell to his knees. Jaime is quoted above as saying he has never been hit - the likelihood of one of Clegane's leisurely, arcing swings being the first to hit the knight is extremely unlikely.
