Wasn't he undefeated in single combat? I haven't read the books but didn't somebody mention Robert hiding out somewhere and having to be rescued? Was that after losing a battle or a one on one fight?
We don't know shit about Aemon dragonknight or Cregan Stark.
Except they were the best of their time.
He was hiding out in Stoney Sept when he was separated from his army, injured, and Jon Connington came down to find him. The townspeople were hiding him throughout the town, and eventually, he came out of a brothel and almost killed Connington when Ned and his forces arrived.
I mentioned him in the original thread. I suggested a "big guy" bracket including Tormund, Belwas, Areo Hotah, Gregor-which was met with a "Hotah is a fucking can" post.
I am fairly confident that I know who the tops are. I may have had Gregor or RedViper in my list over Robert, but more for variation and because they were known one on one fighters vs Robert's battlefield mastery.
Thanks. Do they mention how he was injured and if Ned stopped him from killing him?
Motivated robert is a beast. While selmy is a pro. Selmy would always be consistent while robert needs some stimuli to be effective.

After the defeat in the Battle of Ashford, on the border between the Stormlands and the Reach, Robert Baratheon turned north. Most likely, he was trying to link up to his allies, the Starks, Tullys and Arryns. It is unknown what happened between Ashford and Stoney Sept but during the journey Robert was wounded and he hid in the sept from pursuers just before the battle began.
When the Hand of the King, Lord Jon Connington, occupied the town he ordered his soldiers to begin searching the houses looking for Robert Baratheon. They had not found him when the combined Tully and Stark army reached Stoney Sept. The rebels stormed the city's walls and attacked the army of Connington who responded by fighting back fiercely. He wounded Lord Hoster Tully and killed Lord Jon Arryn's cousin and heir, Denys Arryn. At the same time the two armies were battling all around them in the streets and in the alleys, even on some of the rooftops.
At this point Robert came out, probably with his followers, and led the counterattack. Robert slew Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's friend and former squire, Ser Myles Mooton. Although this seemed to have turned the tide of the battle, Robert himself later maintained that Lord Eddard Stark won it for him. Jon Connington realized the battle was lost and was able to retreat in good order
Lol. Selmy also wasn't wounded in single combat by a dude who'd rather play his harp.
