High King Ithilion wrote: Hot take: Fingolfin. More or less every time we see Sauron enter physical battle, he loses. It's clear that he's not a fighter. He fell to Huan, fled before Eonwe, and only fought Gil-galad and Elendil when there was no other way out--and even then they slew him, though they died in the process. The greatest Noldorin warrior of all time could very likely take Sauron in a straight duel. It's in treachery, manipulation, and deception where Sauron truly excels.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) To be fair, he lost to Huan due to prophecy. Huan would onlt fall to the greatest hound ever seen (I’m paraphrasing). That was Carcharoth, so Sauron couldn’t have won. That fight isn’t a good judge of his power.
