Actually it was to do with the generation of warriors. Bhishma at the time of war was grandsire and was respected by everyone but he was a old man. He didn't needed to compete with the young guys to prove anything.
Eklavya was a promising archer but he couldn't do much after loosing the thumb so we lost him and can't comment on wether he was good enough again these two or not.
Barbareek is more of a folklore and even in that too he had those specific 3 Bans So that's why he is also not considered.

Karna or Arjuna are not alone considered to be the best warrior of all time, their rivalry is so intense whether between them or their followers that whole question of this Debate is that who among them is superior.

If there is a question or an argument between the best warrior of Mahabharata Bhishma and Drona are there along with Karna and Arjuna.

Mostly the argument between Karna and Arjuna is to prove who was the best warrior of their time not of all time ,If we are to consider the best warrior of all time in Mahabharata ,Drona and Bhishma are sure to be nominated.

Eklavya and Barbareek never did fight in Kurekshetra or anywhere else that is the reason they are not considered to be one of the best warrior. You can say that Eklavya was the greatest student that ever lived

Only because the question is unanswered for 5000 years.. and we are much fond of taking sides and fantasize word wars..

If I compare Bhishma, Drona or Ekalavya with Karna no one will come in for a discussion and I will end up talking to myself 😆

Because Bhishma has no competition with any other warrior 😊
He's beyond any competition or comparison.

Barbarika is perhaps a folk tale, not reality. Regarding Eklavya, he never fought in any war or competed with anyone. He's remembered as the most devoted student who sacrificed his thumb for the man who never really considered him as his student. Eklavya was a self taught student.

Karna and Arjuna were each other's prime competitors in that period. That's why people still debate that who is the best among these two.

Because Shaheer and Aham are the best looing and very **xy. All girls love them and dream of them. Krishna is god so we can not say such things. Eklavya is a kid so we don't know how he looks now. and Barbarik was a small boy who was killed by Krishna. Krishna also killed Eklavya.
Hence everyone only interested in Karna and Arjun. Mere do anmol ratan 😉

That's true...n Bheeshma hasn't the need to prove himself the superior one...😳😳
