Best Fighters from Karate Kid Franchise

Every person Miyagi fought he dominated, he never lost a fight in the original trilogy. Miyagi takes 1st place by quite a big margin in my opinion.

I think Johnny would've probably defeated Daniel had he not have used the illegal crane kick. Johnny was also Kreese's star student and former All Valley Karate champion. In Cobra Kai he beats 3 men armed with bats all at once and also manages to successfully train students to a level high enough that one of his students won the championship.

Terry Silver lasted longer than anyone else Miyagi has fought in the Karate Kid trilogy. He put up a better fight against Miyagi compared to Kreese, Chozen, Barnes and Lawrence. Therefore that's enough for me to give him 2nd place.

Dominated Daniel in KK 3, he would've certainly won the tournament if he hadn't of kept intentionally giving himself penalties. However I do think low confidence was holding Daniel back a lot in KK 3, had he of had his confidence throughout the entire movie he would of put up better fights against Barnes.

Instead of the fights that Daniel had been in, the fight with Chozen was a fight to the death and not a tournament. That being said though, Chozen became one of the most badass characters in Cobra Kai.

Sensei of Cobra Kai Soho in the 80s. We haven't seen many feats from him other than lasting a for a bit longer than a few seconds against Miyagi in KK 3. Some might say that Kreese choking Johnny was a feat of Kreese, but I don't count that as Johnny was taken by complete surprise.

A very skilled 2-time All Valley Karate champion. Although Daniel is undoubtedly talented, I believe he had a lot of luck in his fights in the original trilogy. For example the crane kick he used to win the 1984 championship was illegal and in the other championship Barnes would've won the tournament if he hadn't of kept giving himself penalties. I don't think Barnes would've been so dominant had LaRusso had his confidence right from the start, but I think even then Barnes would've won only with a bit more of a struggle.

TWO TIME CHAMPION! How is he not number one!? He won! Stop thinking about Cobra Kaii.

Bobby had a very close fight with Daniel, he might have won had he not used an illegal move.
