Between the two I feel that Bheeshma scores higher due to the age factor. He was almost 25 when Satyawati , the pandava's grndma married Shantanu 😆. His age did not seem to diminish his valour or skill. He remained undefeated till the end so Bheeshma has to be the greatest of them all 😛
Absolutely right 😊 Bheeshm was the greatest in physical strength as well as strength in character
his only mistake was his Bheeshn Pratigya and I personnaly think that he was more caring about the singhasan and not at all about the praja of hastinapur and he let drapupadi vastra haran be happened which was wrong from all level he was a grand father in law from this level he was head of the family from this level he was a man a human from this level he was a sholdier and it is his duty to protect a girl from being raped he should have gotton the 100 kauravs arrested as far as draupadi case is concerned he failed entirely SO I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND HIS HESITENCY IN PROTECTING A GIRL FROM SUCH AN UGLY EPISODE.
but one more person was a great warrior unfortunately from whom the right to fight was snatched away by none pother then rishi Drone and that was Eklavya who was the only person who saw the entire mahabharat but with his beheaded head which had fallen on top of a mountain. Sorry don't remember the entire story read about it a long time back.
He learnt the art of archery from Drone by watchign him teach the kauravs and pandavs when dronacharya saw this that eklavya is much better then arjun he asked for guru dakshina from eklavya and that was the thumb of his right hand so that he can never never use archery or fight in any war.
There is one more story of Eklavya that one day a dog was barking and to stop him from doing that he used his archery and filled dog's mouth wwith bows till he stopped barking without killing him or injurying him that for me is bravery and compassion and kindness too respect for living being so for me Eklavya was a greated warrior then Arjun.
But Karan and Arjun I find equally good not more or less they were equal.
Bheem and Duryodhan were equal and Duryodhan died due to Krishanji
if fact Pandav win this war only due to Krishanj and many of his lies and deceipt but
since dharm was on their side
due to this we cannot say who was more powerful who was less it is very difficult
similarly Drupad and his son were very powerful Bheem's son Abhimany were very powerful nakul sehdev each of theese guys were maha rathis
They all had pretty tragic ends, and I guess the Kauravas died in the battlefield because there was no other way for the Pandavas to regain their throne. True, their sons all died so it's not like they had a super happy future ahead of them, but the main purpose of the Mahabharat was for Dharma to be re-established in the world. As Lord Krishna said, "Dharma Sansthaapa Naarthaaya Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge." So even the good people had to make sacrifices in order for this to happen.
