    +1, just look at the guy's CV;

    Campaign against Kingswood Brotherhood
    Duskendale
    War of the Ninepenny Kings
    Robert's Rebellion
    Greyjoy Rebellion
    Numerous tourney victories

    He's a living legend; he cut down at least 12 men at the Trident and butchered members of the Golden Company to kill Maelys Blackfyre. In one of his chapters Tyrion says the smallfolk see him in the same light as Aemon the Dragonknight etc.

    I think some footage of him fighting on the show will raise his profile with viewers a lot. There have been some references on the show to his skill so far; when he talks with Ned in S1, when he, Robert and Jaime are telling war stories and when Jorah tells Dany who he is.

    Love what Ned said to him; 'I'm glad we never met on the field Ser Barristan, as is my wife, I don't think the widow's life would suit her':pac:

    Just read that GRRM said that between Arthur Dayne and Barristan the Bold it would be a toss up as to who would win, if dayne was not fighting with his sword Dawn. And that they are the two best fighters in the series.

    No love for the mighty Jorah? Can't have spent that many years as a sellsword without pickin up a few tricks!
    Looking forward to him and Barristan coming to blows. And no mention of Ser Robert Strong? I can imagine he's gonna be a bitch to kill/re-kill

    And where the hell is
    Strong Belwas
    on that list. The beast! :pac:

    I guess if I had to pick though I'd give it up to Barristan the Old. ADWD spoilers:
    His fight with Khrazz is awesome. One of my favourite lines in that book is from that chapter: "For the first time all day, Selmy felt certain. This is what I was made for, he thought. The dance, the sweet steel song, a sword in my hand and a foe before me."
