Greatest ?

Who do you think was the greatest fencer of all the time? It is an always a
strong argument in boxing to who were the best, but ive never seen such a
debate in fencing. Ill take it as an opportunity to know more fencers.
Golubitsky is a name that come in mind for one of the greatest foil fencer
ever. If we are speaking of a more classical name, I would remind the story
I heard about Jean-Louis. And what if we do compare them, who would win the
sport match? Who would survive a duel? I think it would be interesting
giving them a year of trainning for it. Could be a fantasy worth look on how
we can compare to our ancestor who relied on the sword for their lives.

Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac.

Fought over a thousand duels and won them all.

Dead at 36...

He also wrote a couple of decent satirical science fiction books.

Ignore the play, it's Victorian romantic rubbish...

I think Indigo was a better fencer than Wesley.

I too think that Inigo Montoya is a better fencer. But has he said : More
pursuing than study latelly. You know, it's been 20 years and I am starting
to lose confidence a little.... and so on to the duel.

First, it was Inigo, not Indigo.

Second, Wesley *beat* Inigo in the first scene with the Dread Pirate
Roberts.

You can think that, but as the movie clearly shows, Inigo lost.

Yeah but Inigo, sorry about the spelling, had the passion. I think that

is important. Sometimes the winner is not always the better fencer.

Wonderfully entertaining Victorian Romantic rubbish. (And hey - I like
romantic rubbish! Would I be a fencer otherwise?)

Joe

While we are nitpicking, according to the script:
http://www.godamongdirectors.com/scripts/princess.shtml

its Westley, not Wesley. ;-)

Yes. That would have been a wonderful fight. Much feathers would have
been spilled.
