"Might" is such a subjective term.

Physically, I think Eönwë may be argued to have the most physical power, as he is said in The Simarillion to be unsurpassed in arms by "any in Arda".

From a standpoint of wisdom, Olórin was confirmed as "the wisest".

Sauron was said to be the greatest servant of Melkor given a name, that is, known enough to the Eldar to have been named. But that leaves open the possibility that Sauron was not the most gifted of Melkor's vassals.
