Hi guys,
I read somewhere that Morgoth has ben drastically weakened by pouring his malice into the making of Arda. I believe I also read in Silmarrion that Eru granted skills to Aule as much as to Morgoth. Then again, Tulkas is definitely the best fighter among the Valar. Morgoth is said to be very scared of Varda because of her light.
So I don't see why Morgoth should be placed on par with Manwe. I do agree though, that he is the strongest physical being on middle-earth, though also the most cowardly. Prof Tolkien himself said it, I think.
