Does Beorn actually count as a man? If he does, my vote goes to him. I would say Hurin or Beren, but all (or most) of the men in the Sil just seemed...so corrupt as compared to the elves. I know that's unfair because elves are immortal, but that's just the way I picture it. Beorn at least doesn't have such high standards to live up to, so he doesn't have to be perfect to be a great man (that is, if he counts as one, being part bear...) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
