Turin and Hurin.
Perhaps Isildur, who is to say really!? We know so little of the fighting skills or levels of 'being' of most men.
Did not some proto Rohirrim kill Scatha ? Bard got the major job done in a real pinch too.
But from the writings we have, I would say Turin's supreme fighting skills seem interwoven wth his supreme tragedy. Turin was a sort of Aragorn gone amok.
Trainied in the 'school' of the marches of Doriath in post-Nirnaeth Beleriand, alongside Beleg for years, this is pretty serious stuff.
His taking out of Glaurung was far more brutal an experience than Bard's.
