Hi guys...i am new here
So coming to the topic,according to individual's martial capability and without any of their weakness and without any god interference my list goes like this
1 Bhishma ,Karna -because I dont think that anyone was capable of defeating bhishma ..and about karna with his vijaya bow and his weapons , I dont think anyone could have defeated him . And pls dont mention that he had been defeated here and there ...bcoz topic is on individual full capability...Karna used his vijaya bow on only his last day of fight..And between Bhishma and Karna I cant decide because both had defeated their guru and while vijaya bow insure victory and Bhishma was undefeatable .
2 Arjun - He was having varities of weapons, his divya rath and his Gandeev. He was know to be best archer of his time...You pepole must be thinking why I have kept him in 2nd order .., answer is no doubt he was having all this but he never over powerd Bhishma , karna , Drona. Again someone will say that he had defeated all of them but please note he defeated them all because he was having gandeev..
3 Guru dron...

Its Abhimanyu for me . Although I feel that he was second best archer to his Father . But he was more valiant then any other warrior present on the soil of Kurukshetra .

Arjun and none other. He defeated everybody single-handedly in battle of Viraat. He didn't have Krishna, or Hanuman with him that time. Further, Karna lost his kawach-kundal after this war. This kawach-kundal thing is over-glorified thing. It can only prevent Karna from weapons harming his body, but it cannot prevent his defeat.



Care to listen someone else?.

Karna lost his Kavach and Kundal BEFORE the battle of Viraat. And Hanumana was always present on Arjuna's chariot in the battle of Viraat, In-fact along with Hanumana, Arjuna got the support of many celestial beings.

Hanumana has always been mentioned in KMG to be a APE/Monkey so dont tell me that it is monkey and not Hanumana, it is clearly Lord Hanumana on Arjuna's chariot during the battle of Viraat.

"...And that mighty car-warrior set out with Uttara as the driver of his car, having taken down that banner with the lion's figure and deposited it at the foot of the Sami tree. And he hoisted on that car his own golden banner bearing the figure of an ape with a lion's tail, which was a celestial illusion contrived by Viswakarman himself. For, as soon, indeed, as he had thought of that gift of Agni, than the latter, knowing his wish, ordered those superhuman creatures (that
usually sat there) to take their place in that banner
. And furnished with a beautiful flag of handsome make, with quivers attached to it, and adored with gold, that excellent flag-staff of celestial beauty than quickly..."



Here Hanumana leaves Arjuna after the battle of Virata.


"...Having vanquished the hostile army and wrested the whole of the cattle wealth from the Kurus, Jishnu returned again to the cemetery and having approached the same Sami tree stood there with body mangled by the arrows of the enemy. Then that terrible monkey blazing like fire ascended into the sky with those other creatures in the flag-staff. And the illusion created (by Viswakarma) melted away and Uttara's own banner bearing the device of a lion was set up on the car again..."

[ I had no bussiness objecting your choice but you included Karna in your comment and that what made post this ]

Arjun, Arjun, Arjun!!! Definitely Arjun.
He got the mind and physique of a warrior. Great archer and great strategist.
And above all, he got Krishna's blessing with him.

Without doubt, Karna.
He was one of the greatest warriors, he had the skills, infact even krishna knew that, hence he tells Arjun to kill him when Karna was removing his chariot's wheel and wasn't ready.
All were scared of karna, including Lord Indra, who came to take his angarakshak.
Karna had all talents, and he truly was a brave and a true warrior, he never broke any rules too, unless forced by Duryodhana.

PS: Just cos Arjun won, doesn't make hime the best warrior, he was lead by Krishna.

I voted for Bheeshma because he was really unconquerable person. Not even his Guru Parashuraama was able to defeat him.

There happened a fight between both while Bheeshma taking away Amba, Ambika and Ambalika at the end of which he defeats Parashuraama who came to protect the princesses!

And also Krishna advises Arjuna before battle only to be careful about Bheeshma and Karna! Hence I choose Bheeshma over others!

I voted for Karna. He had many factors going against him with which I feel he didnt get fair chance in the fight. Still with whatever he had ,he put up a brave fight and had to be killed unarmed and with cheating.though i voted Karna, I will equate Bheeshma too there

I voted for Bheeshma because he was truly an invincible warrior whose mere sight lead to fleeing away of warriors after Bheeshma the second best his beloved grandson Arjuna according to me because he was ambidextrous.
PS:According to me celestial weapons are not toys to just play with it requires a good amount of Knowledge and practice and not every random person can use them as they wish...When people say Arjuna had celestial weapons I say he had the prowess to acquire them and use them efficiently aswell...
@TM It would have been good if you would have made an unbiased first post ..Please dont take personal offence it is just my view ..
