Gothmog vs. Sauron

Well. That 'dog' was one of the mightiest hounds of Oromë. Perhaps Huan could have killed Ecthelion in a fight. Who knows? He is a dog, yes, but he's a powerful Wolf-hound.

Either way, I think Gothmog was more, er, 'courageous' than Sauron. I wold say Sauron relies more on wiles than strength. Gothmog, on the other hand, relies on war tactics and brute strength. So, in my opinion, Gothmog would win.

true, that. Sauron might have more power, though. But it probably doesn't matter that much, since Tulkas was able to overcome Melkor the mightiest in a wrestling match.

Yes, if they have a physical combat. Sauron might try and sing Gothmog to death, though. How would this sound: "...And Gothmog fell before the throne"?

In response to your question: it doesn't sound too bad, but it sounds as if Morgoth just banished him from Angband

Haha. Sing? I can picture it as this:

Sauron: I shall vanquish you!
Gothmog: Um...ok...
Sauron: Lalalalalala!
Gothmog: *brings mace down on Sauron's head* You are so annoying...
