Great list my current list would be 1. Cain Dingle 2. Graham Foster 3. Jason 4. Billy Fletcher 5. Ned Glover 6. Zak Dingle 7. Nate Robinson 8. Cameron Murray 9. Mathew King 10. Aaron Dingle 11. Ross Barton 12. Andy Sugden 13. Jimmy King 14. Carl King 15. Adam Barton Honourable Mentions: Robert Sugden Ben Dingle Sean Reynolds Grayson Sinclair Declan Macey

I was quite surprised that you put Billy then but thinking about it he is quite underrated

[@H.K.5]

He's probably the most skilled fighter in Emmerdale after Jason and Graham.

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

Same, I like his inclusion of Billy. I still wouldn't put him higher than Aaron though, but I love seeing unpopular opinions

[@H.K.5]

@@RandomUploads-ch3bh To be fair, I ranked him higher than Aaron because he's clearly shown alot more fighting skill if you compare both of their hardman moments. Same reason why I ranked him higher than Zak, Ross and Ned as well. I probably wouldn't have even ranked Aaron in this list at all if it wasn't for his feud with Jason, he held his own there and he did better against Jason than most Emmerdale hardmen would have.

@@JDillon03MUFC I agree, I never said Aaron couldn't fight but I don't think he's as tough as Billy.

Zak must have the hardest punch in the soap history - most of his fights are one hit Knock Outs.

Cain has more one punch knockouts than Zak.

[@jordanfrederick8059]

Ben Dingle is an odd choice but he looked like a machine so I dont blame you for ranking him

[@H.K.5]

Yeah I reckon Ben would beat most Emmerdale characters. I know he was only in the show for a short amount of time but he made a big impact and he's the main reason the Dingles came to Emmerdale in the first place.

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

Great video mate, somehow better than the last one you did! Loved the intro for Graham too. Surprised you missed Nate though.

[@H.K.5]

Thanks man. I don't really rate Nate as a hardman anymore and I think that boat fight against Cain was a fluke. He's still one of the hardest in Emmerdale right now though considering there's only a few hardmen left in the village.

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

@@H.K.5 That's fair enough. Also something else I've noticed in your videos, do you try to refrain from using clips of a hardman hitting someone higher on the list than them? I know you did include them for a couple, but not many.

Ned was tough and his win on Zak was great but he could be very inconsistent, he got floored by his son Dave and then struggled when grappling with him and got his arm twisted up by Tony cairns, also got easily handled by the guy who had young Robert at his place

[@allanlawrence4512]

Overall solid list. Would have Aaron lower as he was easily manhandled by Carl & John. Would have Nate in the list somewhere.

[@IdkWhatThisIs20]

Nate is strong but hasn't really shown it that's why he wouldn't make top 15 yet maybe if he has some fights he may make top 15 in like a few years

All the fights between Aaron and Ross were either a draw or Aaron edged them. I think Zak Vs. Ned is debatable, a few people have argued that Ned beating Zack was just down to having the good guy beat the villain and that Zak was tougher once he became a more regular character, which I partly agree with. Ross definitely isn't stronger than Graham. Matthew and Zak might be stronger than Graham, but he is far more skilled, so listing Graham above them is reasonable.
